Hi, I see what you are saying. I would imagine this change was made to make the API and the UI return more consistent results. We received similar feedback regarding making reports more machine readable (for example, but removing the % symbol from the output). I'll be sure to convey this feedback to the core engineering team.
Do your clicks divided by impressions match this rate? If so, you might want to consider using that as a workaround until we can improve this behavior. - Kevin Winter AdWords API Team On Saturday, February 18, 2012 10:00:49 PM UTC-5, Malks wrote: > > Hi Kevin, > > This was a report from the UI in the old version of the MCC Client > Reporting.
