Hi Rakesh,

Age and gender can only be excluded from the campaign level. You will need to use the AdGroupCriterionService to target these criteria. You can have a look at this page to see what criteria can be targeted and excluded at what level.

Hi Rakesh,

If you want to exclude a criteria, you will need to create an object of NegativeAdGroupCriterion.

Cheers,
