Re: Reporting - Data for Removed artifacts

This makes the reports incorrect. If an entity was active in the past, its statistics should be included, irrespective of whether it is active or not now. This also makes me wonder - when I ask for an account performance report, would it not include data for campaigns that were deleted? Or, it would? Both cases create a discrepancy - the first one is obviously wrong, and in the second one, the campaign report does not add up to the account performance report, unless the special condition is included. This particular change in behavior has made the transition to the new version of the API particularly painful, and I have to remember to include "WHERE CampaignStatus IN [ACTIVE, PAUSED, REMOVED]" in all my awqls. It probably makes sense for most service

Hello Stacle,
I am not able to reproduce this report with your definition. Are you sure
this was a response for this exact definition?
If it was, can you let me know the exact timestamp of the request
(including timezone)?

Re: Reporting - Data for Removed artifacts
Hi Danial,
I'm seeing some behavior that doesn't match the original post ("data for
artifacts that are marked removed is not included by default, even if they
had impressions, clicks etc. in the chosen date range"). I have an account
with two campaigns that both have clicks in the March 20 - April 26 date
range. Today (April 27) I removed the campaigns and added two new ones.
Then I pulled the campaign performance report for March 20 - April 26 and
even thought I did not specify to include removed campaigns all four came
back in the report. Is this correct? I thought v201502 was going to omit
the removed campaigns. I am happy to see the removed campaigns coming back
in the performance report for the same reasons the original post states.

Re: Reporting - Data for Removed artifacts
Danial, just to clarify when you said: "Reporting filters out removed entries for the level of the report only. So, account level report will return stats for all objects (and you can't actually add CampaignStatus predicate while requesting it)." Does this mean, for instance, with a criteria performance report, we will get stats back for criteria that are in removed campaigns and/or removed ad groups that might now only have removed ads, so long as the criteria (criteria, placement, etc.) itself does not currently have the status of removed? And for an ad performance report, we will get data back for ads that do not have the status of removed, even if the ad group and campaign are removed?

Re: Reporting - Data for Removed artifacts
Hello MG, 1. No, only _PERFORMANCE_REPORTs are affected. This includes CRITERIA but excludes PLACEMENT or KEYWORD. 2. This is unfortunately true. I've flagged this with the scripts team so they can review / document this aspect. -Danial, AdWords API Team.

Re: Reporting - Data for Removed artifacts
Thanks for your explanation. I have a couple of questions/comments: 1. Thanks for clarifying the bit about what level removed artifacts are filtered. For reports such as Search Terms Report, or Placement Performance Report etc. - do they contain data for Removed Campaigns/AdGroups/Keywords/Ads, or the condition needs to be explicitly added for any artifact that could be in removed state? 2. For scripts, the version is optional. Unfortunately most people I've seen write scripts, do not include this parameter, leading to auto-upgrade.

This makes the reports incorrect. If an entity was active in the past, its statistics should be included, irrespective of whether it is active or not now. This also makes me wonder - when I ask for an account performance report, would it not include data for campaigns that were deleted? Or, it would?

Re: Reporting - Data for Removed artifacts
Hello MG, We normally avoid making changes into launched API versions. Scripts users (those specifying API version) should not be affected, unless they didn't read the release notes when migrated to v201502. Please note while we are going to discuss this issue, I can't promise this change will be implemented. -Danial.

Re: Reporting - Data for Removed artifacts
Hello, Reporting filters out removed entries for the level of the report only. So, account level report will return stats for all objects (and you can't actually add CampaignStatus predicate while requesting it). In general, I see your point. We may want to take another look on how this is handled. -Danial, AdWords API Team.
