Include zero impressions while segmenting a report

[Thomas Ludeau-Bonnet]

Hi,

Is there a way to include zero impressions while segmenting a report?

I read here https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/reporting/zero-impressions#excluding_zero_impressions_by_segmenting that

zero impressions are always excluded when segmenting a report.

However, zero impressions being excluded, data returned is sometimes not corresponding to a continuous date range.

To give an example, let’s suppose that I want to look at the monthly clicks of an account over 2019 but that this account doesn’t have impressions from 03-2019 to 07-2019. The result returned will be an array with only 3 elements corresponding to 01-2019, 02-2019 and 08-2019 while I would like an array with 8 elements corresponding to each month from 01-2019 to 08-2019.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Unfortunately, there is no way to include zero impression rows when segmenting a report.

Hello Thomas,

I understand your concern but it is not possible to have zero impressions when you use segmentation in the query.
