AGE_RANGE_PERFORMANCE_REPORT API vs Dashboard discrepancy

[Andrei]

Hello.

I'm trying to fetch the actual Age Range data via API. The response is successful but the ageRangeState field value is different for some entries.

For example the response row is:

<row

  campaignID='1342252070'

  adGroupID='98255963643'
  adGroupState='enabled'

  maxCPC='230000'

  clicks='0'

  impressions='0'
  avgCPC='0'

  cost='0'

  ageRange='65 or more' 

  bidAdj='--'
  ageRangeState='enabled'

/>

But the Dashboard shows "Excluded from ad group and campaign" i.e. 'removed' Status.

Can't figure out how to fetch the actual value?

Filtering using the 'Status' predicate doesn't exclude this entry as well.

Thank you.

Hi Andrei,

Thank you for reaching out.

So our team can better look into this issue, could you provide the following details as well :

• your customer ID
• the complete report definition in XML or AWQL form
• complete screenshot of the Google Ads UI's Age range view

You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

Best regards,

The result after investigation with Google Ads API Team.

In order to filter by the ageRangeState field we shouldn't use Status predicate.

We need to use IsNegative predicate.

Thanks to the team for the explanation.
