DSACategoryPerformanceReportColumn Value Set - Reporting
Defines the attributes and performance statistics columns that you can include in the DSACategoryPerformanceReportRequest.
The attribute columns that you include in a report can affect how the statistics are aggregated. In other words the number of rows increase by a factor of the unique attributes. For more information, see Columns that Group the Data.
For a list of columns that you must include, please see the Required Columns section below.
To see how far back hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and summary aggregated data can be retrieved for a report, see Report Data Retention Time Periods.

| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| AbsoluteTopImpressionRatePercent | How often your ad was in the first position of all results, as a percentage of your total impressions. A higher number indicates your ad is frequently showing in the best ad position. The value of this column is empty if the data is not available. Neither Hourly or HourOfDay aggregation are supported. If you include this column with Hourly or HourOfDay aggregation the service will not return an error and you should ignore any performance data returned for this column. |
| AccountId | The Microsoft Advertising assigned identifier of an account. |
| AccountName | The account name. |
| AccountNumber | The Microsoft Advertising assigned number of an account. |
| AccountStatus | The account status. |
| AdDistribution | The network where you want your ads to show. This can be the entire Microsoft Advertising Network, Microsoft sites and select traffic, or only partner traffic (this network type is deprecated as of July 2024). |
| AdGroupId | The Microsoft Advertising assigned identifier of an ad group. |
| AdGroupName | The ad group name. |
| AdGroupStatus | The ad group status. |
| AdId | The Microsoft Advertising assigned identifier of an ad. |
| AdStatus | The ad status. |
| AllConversionRate | The conversion rate as a percentage. The number of conversions, divided by the total number of clicks. For example, if the ads in your campaign got 300 clicks and four conversions, the conversion rate is 1.33 (%). The formula for calculating the conversion rate is (Conversions / Clicks) x 100. Data will be excluded from the ConversionRate report column for any conversion goal with the ExcludeFromBidding property set to true. The AllConversionRate column will include data for all conversion goals regardless of their ExcludeFromBidding setting. Available for accounts that are setup to use analytics with Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking. For more information, see the Track sales and other conversions help topic. |
| AllConversions | The number of conversions. A conversion is the completion of an action by a customer after viewing your ad. The action could be purchasing your product, registering for your webinar, joining an organization, or whatever you consider your goal and best measure of the ad's success. Conversions are measured by adding a small bit of code to your website pages so that a visitor's progress through your site can be tracked. Data will be excluded from the Conversions report column for any conversion goal with the ExcludeFromBidding property set to true. The AllConversions column will include data for all conversion goals regardless of their ExcludeFromBidding setting. Available for accounts that are setup to use analytics with Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking. For more information, see the Track sales and other conversions help topic. This column is deprecated as of 2022, so you should use the AllConversionsQualified column instead. Going forward, performance reports will return "0" (zero) in this column. Historical data for time periods prior to the deprecation date will still be available according to the published data retention period. |
| AllConversionsQualified | The number of conversions. A conversion is the completion of an action by a customer after viewing your ad. The action could be purchasing your product, registering for your webinar, joining an organization, or whatever you consider your goal and best measure of the ad's success.

Data will be excluded from the Conversions report column for any conversion goal with the ExcludeFromBidding property set to true. The AllConversions column will include data for all conversion goals regardless of their ExcludeFromBidding setting. Available for accounts that are setup to use analytics with Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking. For more information, see the Track sales and other conversions help topic. You should expect the data type as double whether or not there are partial externally attributed offline conversions. Not everyone has this feature yet. If you don't, don't worry - it's coming soon! |
| AllCostPerConversion | The cost per conversion. The formula for calculating the cost per conversion is (Spend / Conversions). Only ads in campaigns that enable conversion tracking contribute to the conversion number, so unless all campaigns in the account enable conversion tracking, the number will not be accurate. Data will be excluded from the CostPerConversion report column for any conversion goal with the ExcludeFromBidding property set to true. The AllCostPerConversion column will include data for all conversion goals regardless of their ExcludeFromBidding setting. Available for accounts that are setup to use analytics with Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking. For more information, see the Track sales and other conversions help topic. |

Available for accounts that are setup to use analytics with Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking. For more information, see the Track sales and other conversions help topic. |
| Assists | The number of conversions from other ads within the same account that were preceded by one or more clicks from this ad. An ad is considered to have assisted the conversion if it was clicked before the most recently clicked ad that was credited with the conversion. Additionally, the click corresponding to the assist must occur within the conversion period of the goal. |
| AverageCpc | The average cost per click (CPC). The total cost of all clicks on an ad divided by the number of clicks. This is the average amount you're actually charged each time your ad is clicked. For example, if you paid a total of 48.35 for 300 clicks, your average CPC is 0.16. The formula for calculating the average CPC is (Spend /Clicks). |
| AverageCpm | The total advertising cost divided by the number of impressions (in thousands).<br/ In Latin, mille means a thousand. Also, sometimes called average cost per thousand (CPT).

| Category2 | The low level category that Bing matched to your website. For example if the category is US/CA/SFO, the Category2 value will be SFO. |
| Clicks | Clicks are what you pay for. Clicks typically include a customer clicking an ad on a search results page or on a website on the search network. Clicks can also come from other sources (for example, spiders, robots, and test servers). For more information, see Microsoft Advertising click measurement: description of methodology. |
| ConversionRate | The conversion rate as a percentage. The number of conversions, divided by the total number of clicks. For example, if the ads in your campaign got 300 clicks and four conversions, the conversion rate is 1.33 (%). The formula for calculating the conversion rate is (Conversions / Clicks) x 100. Data will be excluded from the ConversionRate report column for any conversion goal with the ExcludeFromBidding property set to true.
