Microsoft Invest - Advertiser Attributed Conversions report
When a conversion pixel fires, Microsoft Advertising determines if the conversion can be attributed (tied to a creative that the user previously viewed or clicked). For more information about how conversion attribution works, see Conversion Attribution.
The Attributed Conversions Report lets you see conversion pixel IDs, order IDs, when clicks or impressions were attributed, and other information related to your advertisers' attributed conversions.

To run your report
Follow these steps to run your report.
Select Reporting from the appropriate top menu (depending on how your account has been configured).
- Or, from the Publishers top menu, click on Prebid Server Premium > Analytics > Prebid Server Analytics
Select the relevant report from the list. The Report screen shows the available filters, dimensions, and delivery options for the report. The selections you make here will determine what report data is delivered to you, and how.
Important
For an explanation of how grouping and filtering work, see Dimensions, Metrics, Filtering, and Grouping.
Select the relevant filters to limit the data displayed to just the information you want. For example, rather than running a report that shows impressions for all inventory sources, you may want to list results for just a select few. When you select a filter (by clicking Edit), a selection panel appears. Select items in the Available list (left), then click Add to include them in the Chosen list (right).
Group by Dimension. Grouping allows you to display rows of data in the order you prefer.
Warning
The more dimensions you group by, the larger the data set that is returned. Larger data sets can take substantially longer to process. Be sure to group using only the dimensions you need.
Choose a delivery option. Once you've selected your filters and grouped by your chosen dimensions, you need to choose a delivery method. Available delivery methods include:
