I'm trying to find a unique identifier for the Bing Ads Campaign Performance Report to help remove duplicates. I'm currently pulling all of these columns from the API:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/advertising/reporting-service/campaignperformancereportcolumn?view=bingads-13#values

I'm performing a daily aggregation.

    So far this seems to provide an adequate unique identifier:

    		md5_hex(  
    			concat_ws(  
    				'||'  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(accountname::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(accountstatus::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(addistribution::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(bidmatchtype::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(campaignname::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(deliveredmatchtype::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(deviceos::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(devicetype::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(goal::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(network::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(timeperiod::date::varchar, '^^')))  
    				, trim(lower(coalesce(topvsother::varchar, '^^')))  
    			)  
    		) as id
