zweitze, we found out these fields will be deprecated in the object services and not in the reports. What a relief.
We can do what you suggest, but why waste our server resources and slow down our users when this data is readily available in the reports? I know you will need to do this if you need to work out a custom date figure from within your local copy of the data, but for daily data we prefer to grab and trust the API's.
