Using CustomReport for bulksheets

[samp]

Hi All,
I am trying to use CustomReport instead of bulksheet to try to get the
complete data about campaigns, ad gorups, copies and keywords. I just
need something similar to bulksheet since google has said that going
forward they might remove the download bulksheet feature.
So what i do is specify some criteria in the CustomReport options.
Currently i am trying to get a list of all ads. But i am getting
mutiple records for the ads. here are the options that i am using-
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.AdGroup;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.AdGroupStatus;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.Campaign;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.CampaignStatus;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.Cpc;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.CreativeDestinationUrl;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.CreativeStatus;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.DailyBudget;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.DescriptionLine1;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.DescriptionLine2;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.DescriptionLine3;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.VisibleUrl;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.MaximumCpc;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.Clicks;
GoogleWebServices.Reporting.CustomReportOption.AccountName;

For the same ad i am getting multiple records when i specify these
options with dirrerent max cpc. Also the aggregation type i am using is
summary by default. MIght that be causing this? How do i return only 1
record per ad?

Thanks
Samp

Hi samp,

I hope that Google doesn't remove the download bulksheet feature. It's
an (easier) substitute for the missing "Zero Impressions" reporting.
Zero impressions reporting *has* to be difficult for Google, as it
involves marrying the database that collects impressions with the
database that holds the campaigns. Bulksheet download just needs the
campaigns database.

It'd be as useful (for us, at least) if Google provided an API to the
bulksheet, than to the zero impression reporting. Should be less work
for them, too.

Cheers, JeremyC.

Yes thats corrrect , google hasnt yet enabled the zero impressions flag
in version 5 too. But they are not even saying that they will provide a
API call for the bulksheet download. So we should be ready with some
alternative to the download bulksheets
link. Hence I am trying to figure out how to get the same information
from custom report even if we dont get all the information , in case
google does enable the zero impressions flag then we will be ready at
least.
