Gosh, my bad, I feel so dumb now. It's all described in the page, I just 
had to read carefully.

Sorry for wasting your time, and thx for the reply.
Regards.

Inconsistency between Report description, Query Validator and real life query response

[Guilhem DELAITRE]

Hello,
I don't know if it's the right place to report that but there seems to be 
an inconsistency between this page : ad_group 
 which 
list geo_target_city as an available segment for the ad_group resource, and 
the Query Validator that outputs the following : 
*'segments.geo_target_city' is not a valid field in the SELECT clause when 
'ad_group' is the resource in the FROM clause. Fields in the SELECT must be 
'Selectable'.*

When I actually use a query, I indeed get an error :
*Cannot select or filter on the following segments: 
'segments.geo_target_city'(could not support requested resources: 
'AD_GROUP'), since segment is incompatible with the resource in the FROM 
clause or other selected segmenting resources.*The overly simple request I 
used is this : *SELECT ad_group.id,metrics.impressions, 
segments.geo_target_city FROM ad_group* Which both works and gets validated 
in the Query Validator if I drop *segments.geo_target_city *The same 
problem appear to exists on other *geo_targeting_ *segments with the 
ad_group _resource
Thx in advance for any clarifications,
Regards.
