Negative impressions in report

[Tatiana Kononova]

Hi, DFP API Team!

We've met strange statistics in reports - there are negative impressions for some campaigns on 20-21 june 2016. It breaks some our functionality, so we need to know how to work with it. Is it usual case (please, describe how can it be) or some isolated case, which will be fixed?

Example of negative impression statistics:

Hi Tatiana,

I was able to replicate your issue in your network (12523293). But this seems to be a product level question where the publisher support team can answer you on why you are having negative impressions. Please post your question on the product forums. 

Thanks,
