CampaignLocationTarget report - line without Location ID

[Vlad Zloteanu]

Here's the report download request we make:

{'downloadFormat': 'CSV', 'reportName': 'Custom CAMPAIGN_LOCATION_TARGET_REPORT', 'dateRangeType': 'CUSTOM_DATE', 'selector': {'dateRange':

{'min': '20170406', 'max': '20170705'}

, 'predicates': [

{'field': 'CampaignId', 'operator': 'EQUALS', 'values': ['829476387']}

], 'fields': ['AverageCpc', 'AveragePosition', 'CampaignId', 'CampaignName', 'CampaignStatus', 'Clicks', 'Conversions', 'AllConversions', 'ConversionValue', 'Cost', 'Impressions', 'BidModifier', 'Id']}, 'reportType': 'CAMPAIGN_LOCATION_TARGET_REPORT'}

There is one line in the CSV, containing 2 impressions, that has '--' for the Location id.

Is this an expected behaviour?

Thank you,

Vlad

Hi Vlad, 

The row in the downloaded Campaign Location Target Report with "--" for the Location Id corresponds to "Other locations". These are locations where your ads have appeared, but aren't specifically targeted by a campaign at this time. If you changed your location targets, your ad may have appeared in a location that you no longer target. The impressions for any removed locations will be included in the "Other locations" row.
