ReportDefinitionError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME_FOR_REPORT @ ImpressionShare

[Erkan Ceran]

Hi,

 I use php library. i try to get campaign performance report with adhoc reporting for hourly data. I send request but its return to me an error like on below;

ReportDefinitionError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME_FOR_REPORT @ ImpressionShare; trigger:'Cannot select a combination of ImpressionShare and AdvertiserExperimentId,ClickType,ConversionCategory,ConversionCategoryName,ConversionTypeName,Device,HourOfDay,Slot,SocialAnnotationType'.

My request fields;

<selector>
    <fields>ExternalCustomerId</fields>
    <fields>CampaignId</fields>
    <fields>CampaignName</fields>
    <fields>Status</fields>
    <fields>AverageCpc</fields>
    <fields>AverageCpm</fields>
    <fields>Cost</fields>
    <fields>Clicks</fields>
    <fields>Impressions</fields>
    <fields>ImpressionShare</fields>
    <fields>BudgetLostImpressionShare</fields>
    <fields>QualityLostImpressionShare</fields>
    <fields>HourOfDay</fields>
  </selector>

Its mean is if i use HourOfDay couldn't use ImpressionShare, BudgetLostImpressionShare, QualityLostImpressionShare etc. combinations like fields. 

But i need hourly ImpressionShare etc. combination data. how can i get this values with one report or how can calculate this ? 

Any ideas ?

Hi Ekran,

AdWords doesn't provide hourly breakup of ImpressionShare data any longer. See http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.in/2012/01/upcoming-changes-to-adwords-impression.html for details.

And I am testing it with my test account.

Please let me what I am doing wrong.

Hi,

The ClickType column is not compatible with includeZeroImpressions set to true. You can see this in the Supports Zero impressions column of the report documentation. In addition, the error details returned by your request will show this as well.

'ReportDownloadError.ZERO_IMPRESSIONS_REQUEST_NOT_SUPPORTED'

trigger: 'includeZeroImpressions is not supported for this request'

If you set includeZeroImpressions to false when requesting ClickType then your report should run without any errors.
