Hi, David. Here's the report definition XML:
<reportDefinition><selector><fields>AdGroupId</fields><fields>AdGroupName</fields><fields>AverageCpc</fields><fields>CampaignId</fields><fields>CampaignName</fields><fields>Cost</fields><fields>Clicks</fields><fields>Impressions</fields><fields>Date</fields><fields>DayOfWeek</fields><fields>CriteriaParameters</fields><fields>Domain</fields><fields>Url</fields><fields>AdNetworkType1</fields><fields>Conversions</fields><fields>ConversionsManyPerClick</fields><fields>TotalConvValue</fields><dateRange><min>20120216</min><max>20120813</max></dateRange></selector><reportName>Sync for 20120216 to 20120813</reportName><reportType>URL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT</reportType><hasAttachment>false</hasAttachment><dateRangeType>CUSTOM_DATE</dateRangeType><downloadFormat>GZIPPED_CSV</downloadFormat></reportDefinition> CID is 590-210-8272. Since it's (gzipped) CSV, if you search for two commas in a row (i.e. ",,", no quotes) in the resultant download, you'll find the rows I'm talking about.
