Can't select both Amount and TotalBudget

[tu...@intelligentmobils.com]

Hello,

I've been testing the Adwords API with Ruby. And either I'm misunderstanding something or there's a bug: If I try to select both the Amount and the TotalBudget of a Campaign Performance Report, I end up with only a single column 'Budget' in the resulting CSV. Looking at the available fields at https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/campaign-performance-report also shows that both the Amount and TotalBudget field have the same XML Attribute 'budget' which also strikes me as incorrect.

Here is a code snippet:

report_definition =

{

        :selector =>

        {

                :fields => ['Amount', 'TotalBudget']

        },

        :report_name => 'TEST CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',

        :report_type => 'CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',

        :download_format => 'CSV',

        :date_range_type => 'TODAY',

        :include_zero_impressions => true

}

report_utils.download_report_as_file(report_definition, "test.csv")

I'm using the :v201502 API-version and have attached the downloaded test.csv where you can see that only 1 column exists.

Could somebody tell me whether I'm doing something wrong or if this is actually a bug?

Hi,

It looks like you are doing everything correctly. A quick check on our end shows that the two fields are pointing to the same data on the back-end. I'm having someone take a look to see if this is an issue or if this is documentation that needs to be updated.

Hello,

are there any news on this? Or is this still being looked into?

Hello,

I don't have an answer, yet. It's still being looked into by our engineers.

Hi,

It took awhile to get sorted out what was going on since this was an unusual case. The engineers are working on removing TotalBudget from the report as a result of what you noticed. That field was not meant to be a field that was selectable in the Campaign Performance Report. Thanks for being so observant and reporting it to us.
