Hi Adwords Team, Even we tried to fetch the stats for Dynamic Search Ads including those of the Auto targets using Keyword less category and Keyword less Query report but it didn't return any data. We do have ample data with impressions. Can you please let us know how can the data be retrieved for dynamic ads/auto targets.
