Problems downloading a report

[ViviLazza]

I set the data of that specific campaign on which I have to make the report, I set the date range, but when I export the report in pdf the exported data are from another campaign despite the fact that on Looker I see the correct data, how can I solve this problem? Every time I have to report on this specific campaign, it's a mess

FYI to everyone experiencing this issue. I have a temporary workaround, but it is limited - you can only attach up to 50 accounts to the Google Ads data source.

The issue we are all having with our downloaded reports is being caused by the *default Google Ads data control.

If you create a new Google Ads data source (limited to 50 accounts) & then remove that default Google Ads data control from your Looker report, then add a drop-down list control (make it report level & use Account as the control field) then your downloads will work OK.

You can make additional copies to attach to addtl. accounts. I have 1 report that I've made 3 copies of to attach to a total of 131 accounts (so far). It's a pain to have all these copies, but the downloads work as expected.

Use a drop-down list, NOT the data control

Hope that helps 🙂

Thank you. It's very hacky and limiting - I still hope we will get an official fix from Google asap.

Agreed. Haven't seen any updates from Google since 4/3 😕

Bumping this topic. We're going over a month without a fix. May reporting is coming in two days. Please anyone @ Google can we get a status update?

Google our new month is about to begin. It is very necessary we have reporting resolved so we dont go another month without data. Please.

This is completely ridiculous. Looker studio is basically unusable / useless at this point and in our company we had to go back to manual reports, because we can't just wait for this fix...
