Limitations

Metric and ad recall data may not match

The problem with reach and ad recall metrics is that these metrics cannot be simply summed to get the totals for longer periods. The reason for this is that these metrics are measuring the daily unique users, who either see your ad (reach) or will remember the ad (ad recall). It is not possible to get data for a specific period and keep aggregating them.

One option is to get the daily breakdown and then the daily values will match, but not when summing over more days.
The second solution is to get the data weekly or monthly and again, these weekly/monthly values will match Microsoft exactly.
1. The way to achieve this is to create a new source and then a new flow with the particular breakdown (for example, source and flow with daily breakdowns/synchronizations)

How to create a Microsoft Ads Data Source


	Sign in to your Dataddo account and click on Sources at the top of the page.
	Click on Create Source in the top right corner.
	From the list of sources, choose Microsoft Ads. You can type the name of the connector into the search bar to find it faster.

b)	Authorize Microsoft Profile If you have not authorized your Microsoft Account with Dataddo, click on Authorize and you will be redirected to your account to log in. After you log in and give Dataddo the necessary permissions to access your data, you will be redirected back to the connector.
	Choose a name for your Data Source, select the Time Aggregation, the Report Type, the Attributes, and the Metrics. To continue to the next page, click Next. NOTE: Attributes and Metrics depend on the reporting level you select.
	On the Storage selection page, you can set up the destination configuration. To help you with the snapshot mapping, we make it easier for you to create a connection to the destination based on your preference. a) Click on the option Dashboarding App if you want your data to connect to applications such as Google Data Studio, Power BI, or Tableau. b) Click on the option Data Warehouse, if you want your data to be sent to warehouse storage, e.g., MySQL, Big Query, or PostgreSQL.
	Configure your snapshotting preferences by choosing your *Data range, Sync type, Sync frequency, Time, and Timezone. Confirm your setup by clicking on Next. NOTE:** *If the Data range is available to select, you can load historical data. Read more about it in our guide.
	In the last step, you can preview your data. Click on Save and your new Data Source is ready.
*	Broken view / Error message If you cannot see a preview of your data, go back a few steps and check your setup. The most common causes are: Date range - we recommend a smaller date range. If you need to load historical data, check our guide. Invalid metrics, attributes or breakdowns, or their combination - you may not have any values for them.
