 Hello, 

I want to get the Geo Performance report but in results it returns the records only with LocationType=DONT_CARE (no records with Physical location or Location of interest). In same time the GUI report returns the correct results. 
Below is my code snippet

and same report in GUI

Could you help me understand where is my error?

Hello,

My manager account ID = 394-573-1609,
customer account ID = 903-453-0568
Report Name is "Geo Report", link

In report below there is Physical locations.

If execute the GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT through API then there is data only with DONT_CARE location and no data with Physical locations

Hi Andrey,

Could you please reply privately to author the report query you provided in the report definition format? I need to see the date range for this query so the report definition should provide me everything I need.

I'm sorry but I dont use the XML report definition format. Instead I'm using ReportQueryBuilder inside dotNet Client library (C#). If you need to know the date range it is from 01.05.2015 till  01.05.2015 (report by one day).

Thanks for assistance.

Hi Andrey,

Please share with me your report results as I was unable to find report rows with this LocationType when running your report. Please also include LocationType in your report since this was not selected in your initial query.

Regards,

Hi 

when I add the "LocationType" in select clause I get error "Physical Location" is not found, see screenshot below

Hi Andrey,

I will need to take a closer look into why you are facing that error. In the meantime, please try it without the LocationType field. But if you have the copy of the report where you initially received the DONT_CARE value, please share it.
