conversions_by_conversion_date differences when summing

[FW API]

Hi there,

we use the field conversions_by_conversion_date  to display some stats.

We found difference when retrieving data.

1. we retrieve data for a number of campaigns for a specific period, which works

2. we retrive data for the same number of campaigns for and the same specific period segmented by date, which also works

but

- If we sum up the the segmented data we find a total different from the first request. The web-ui shows that data from the first request. 

- Also in the web-ui the segmented data summed up differs in its total from the first request.

How come two queries on the same data result in different total summing up conversions_by_conversion_date?

What can we do about it to receive correct data?

Best Regards

Thank you for raising this concern to Google Ads API Forum.

To investigate this issue, could you please provide us with a complete request and response logs with request ID and request header that are generated on your end? This information will help our team to investigate why these two queries on the same data result in different total. You can send it via Reply privately to the author option.

Hi Anna-Lena,

I work with Jinky. Thank you for privately sending us your logs. You are filtering out rows where there are no impressions. The conversions in a row that doesn't have impressions will not show up. When segmenting by date, there is more of a chance that there will be no impressions rows with conversions that are filtered out first because there will be more rows and second because the impressions are spread more thinly. When taking out your filter the conversion amounts matched. Feel free to get back to us.

Hi Anna-Lena,

Thank you for reporting this issue! I reproduced this when the login customer Id header field is used, when the login customer Id header field isn't used the other record came up. Regardless, the conversion showed in the summary row. Let me bring this up with my team. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
