CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT missing costs

[Robert Spektor]

Hello,

we have an issue, that we don't get the total ads costs in CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT report.

We compared the costs with the ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and the Google UI.

Do we miss something? Is the CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT not including all kind of ads costs?

The Account ID is: 5812409115 we checked the data for November 2021.

best regards,

Hi Robert,

Thank you for posting your concern.

To investigate, could you provide the complete report definition that you've used in the CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT?

You can provide it via Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

Also, please note that our team doesn't recommend comparing different report types as it has different purposes and its data / statistics are accumulated at different levels as well. Furthermore, the CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is a single attribution that will return statistics of criteria it deemed most relevant. Would you be able to clarify also what criteria type you want to retrieve on the said report type?

Lastly, I would like to inform you that the AdWords API is deprecated and will be sunset on April 27, 2022. We strongly recommend that you migrate to the Google Ads API as soon as possible.

Regards,

Ernie John Blanca Tacata Google Ads API Team
