Including device type in PRODUCT_PARTITION_REPORT results in less zero impression data?

[Mario]

Hello,

i have some issues with the PRODUCT_PARTITION_REPORT.

I want to get zero impression data for data splitted by device.
Knowing that i can not include statistic data like impressions and clicks, i just use 'attributes' (account, campaign, adgroup, product_group and device).

I did 4 test queries - with and without device, with and without zero impressions. And then i recognized some major differences in the returned zero impression data:
Including the device type resulted in about 900 less(!) entries with zero impressions. Also whole campaigns with zero impressions are not returned anymore when device type is selected.

I did the same test with the KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT which was ok and i had no issues with it.

The full question/issue i have described on stack overflow:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28708378/adwords-api-campaignservice-query-returns-invalid-predicate-field-name-for-val?rq=1

So do you have an explanation for this behaviour or is it just a bug?

Thanks,
Mario

Hi Mario,

For the issue described on stackoverflow, you need to use id field instead of CampaignId of the Campaign for the CampaignService. Could you provide me privately the report request for PRODUCT_PARTITION_REPORT? Just click Reply privately to author in the forum when responding.

Thanks,

Hey,

the solution was to add include_zero_impressions=True to the DownloadReportWithAwql() function and remove impressions=0 from the query.
