Hi Luis, If this report is always segmented by the AdGroupId, then IMHO the documentation is not accurate. The report documentation says:
*The Placements Performance report includes all statistics aggregated at the placement level, one row per placement.* This is obviously not true because the data is not aggregated at the placement level. We're not sure what aggregation is being referred to in the documentation in this case.
