Thanks for posting this! crossClientSpecified saved me! I would have never figured it out without this post.

Good to hear from you Dave and nice to see you back blogging again too. I’m amazed that this is still an issue with the API 3 YEARS ON!! I haven’t touched any of the PPC APIs in about 2 years – I’m sure the AdWords one has changed an awful lot since…

Hi Janine, same problem I was having, I slotted in crossClientSpecified and it worked fine. Your post helped me solved this. Going to post over at Google API group to request an update to the documentation.

Awesome. I was having the exact same issues, but I added the two properties and all is good. Thanks

I have seen reports on the developer forum that if you add a line ReportJob.crossClientSpecified = true, then generating a report at MCC level will work!

*many* thanks mark – i will give that a try – they did not mention that in the docs when i looked into them at the time though?

if you are setting a value for the aggregationType parameter it’s kinda obvious that an aggregation type is specified but whatever google wants

thanks again!

You need to add:

myReportJob.aggregationTypeSpecified = true;

This will solve it

I played with some of the PHP and Perl example code a couple of months ago and it seemed to work fine. I haven’t found any practical use for it yet though

yep the examples worked for me too michele, as did most other quick things i tried out…
but in accordance with murphy’s law it’s the couple of things i really need to do that i have trouble getting fully up and running!

I haven’t tried the APIs for Adwords yet but they seem interesting. By the looks of it there could be minor niggles though. C# looks fairly easy to use. Must see if I can learn it.
