Generating reports for different timzones

[Chuck Reeves]

When requesting a report for a custom date, how can we specify the timezone?  We have noticed that some of the numbers do not match up for our UK clients. When we look at the long term, the numbers add up.  This implies that some of the numbers carry over to the next day.  We pull in numbers nightly and I think I can resolve this problem by running the import at midnight for the time zone in question.  Before making this major change I would like to know if there is easier solution for this.

Hello Chuck,

The data is returned in the account timezone, there is no way to customize it on report download. Please also note the clicks and cost data can be adjusted during the next 72 hours after the day (for invalid clicks, spam etc).

Ok that makes sense.  The discrepancy we are seeing could just be removed metrics due to spam then.  After speaking with the support team.  It also appears the reason has to be because we pull in midnight Eastern time which is 5-6 hours behind GMT.  The client in the UK is checking 1st thing in the morning for them.  They are assuming that it ran midnight their time.
