    Hi,
     
    I'm using the python library to request a report. I'm using quite a lot of
    dimensions which reduces many of the reported earnings per row to zero when
    rounded to two decimal places. This results in large discrepancies when
    adding up all earnings since earnings aren't zero but very small (<0.005).
    The solution we're trying out at the moment is calculating earnings based
    on INDIVIDUAL_AD_IMPRESSIONS_RPM. The problem is that when calculating the
    earnings metric ourselves by
    calculating INDIVIDUAL_AD_IMPRESSIONS_RPM/1000*INDIVIDUAL_AD_IMPRESSIONS,
    total earnings are off. They're not off by much. The difference is only
    0.01 based on reporting for one day. Still, we'd like to see no difference
    between total earnings reported by the API and total earnings that we
    calculate. Is there any way to make sure that total earnings for a given
    date range correspond to total earnings reported for a given date range,
    even when requesting a large number of dimensions?
     
     
    Thanks,
     
    Niels

    Hi Niels,
     
    There's no way to get better EARNINGS I'm afraid, it's always going to be
    rounded hence the problems you're experiencing. Your clever hack is going
    to be as good as it gets.
     
    Cheers,
    Jose
