Google Ads Script SetAmount() function in new experience

[Paul van Putten]

Hi,

today I tried migrating all of our scripts to the new experience. With one of the scripts, I am running in some trouble. I run this piecie of code (which works fine in the 'old' script): 

videoCampaign.getBudget().setAmount([new_budget]);

New budget is the variable that we want to set as new budgets. Examples are: 7.33320406 and 21.13443846. The old script would automatically round these numbers and set the budgets to 7.33 and 21.13. However, with the new experience I get the error message as attached. For some reason, the script does not recognise it as positive numbers. I cannot seem to solve this. How do I fix this? 

Please let me know if you have any further questions

Hi Paul,

Maybe you can round the number to two decimals?

let new_budget = 123.23454;
new_budget = new_budget.toFixed(2);

Or, is the number isn't recognised as a number (but as text instead) try to convert to a number first:

parseFloat("123.456").toFixed(2);

I don't know if this works, but worth a try maybe?

Good luck!

Hi,

I managed to fix it. It indeed was the case that the script did not recognise the [new_budget] in this function (videoCampaign.getBudget().setAmount([new_budget]);) as a list of numbers, but as text. I fixed it by adding a '+' sign before the new_budget. I read this on the internet somewhere and it worked. So now it looks like this:

videoCampaign.getBudget().setAmount([+new_budget]);

Thanks for the responses.

Kind regards,
