Use custom variables to filter a custom conversion column

If you’re using custom variables to pass conversion data to Search Ads 360, you can use the data to filter a custom conversion column in a reporting table in Search Ads 360.

For example, if you’re using a variable to pass the name of the region where a conversion occurred, you can then create a custom conversion column that contains only the data from specific regions.

To use custom dimensions to filter a custom conversion column, do the following:

1. Sign in to your Search Ads 360 account.
2. On the page menu, navigate to a reporting table, such as Campaigns, Ad groups, or Keywords.

8. In the "Metric" section dropdown, select the metric you want to report on.
9. Click Custom variable to expand the section. You can only select a dimension under this metric.
10. In the dropdown, select the custom variable dimension you want to filter your conversion actions by.
11. Select one of the following match criteria:
    • Equals: The column counts only conversions for which the custom variable exactly matches one or more of the values you enter. (The match is not case sensitive.)
