Hi Takeshi,
many thanks for your reply. Here's the report XML I'm using:
<reportDefinition>
<selector>
<fields>AccountId</fields>
<fields>ConversionTypeName</fields>
<fields>Conversions</fields>
<fields>ConversionRate</fields>
<dateRange>
<min>20121013</min>
<max>20121212</max>
</dateRange>
</selector>
<reportName>Ad Hoc report Type: ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT; Date Range:
20121013-20121212</reportName>
<reportType>ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT</reportType>
<dateRangeType>CUSTOM_DATE</dateRangeType>
<downloadFormat>CSV</downloadFormat>
</reportDefinition>
I can provide you with two account IDs that reproduce the behavior I've
mentioned above (one account showing the actual conversion rate in the
total line, the other showing 0.00%), if that's of any help to you.
Cheers,
Dorian
