Why Are My Reports Showing Slight Differences in spend Values?

Question

Why are my reports showing slight differences in spend values?

Environment

Connector: Microsoft Advertising

Answer

spend is a float data type that we round up. As a result, you may notice fractional differences.

Cause

Microsoft Advertising utilizes different currencies, each with its own cost-per-click (CPC) value. Microsoft may report on spend as a float data type because the value is the sum of different CPC values. For more information, see Microsoft's documentation.
