Create a report

1. Sign in to your AdWords account.
2. Click the Reports tab at the top of your account.
3. Click the +Report drop-down menu at upper left. Choose Table, Line chart, Bar chart, Pie chart, or Scatter chart.
4. Drag tiles onto the canvas and drop them in one of the blue highlighted areas. The shelf is automatically updated, and your data is displayed on the canvas.
5. Now that your report has been created, you can start refining your analysis:
   • To rearrange tiles, just drag and drop them inside the shelf.
   • To change the date range for your report, use the date selector.
   • To remove a dimension or metric from your report, drag its tile off of the shelf.

You can also use the Report Editor to view and edit your saved reports. Learn how to open your saved reports

Sort table data

When you sort, nothing is removed or hidden from your table—it’s just reorganized. To sort a column, click the column header:

• The first time you click the header, the column is sorted in ascending order.
• The second time you click the header, the column is sorted in descending order.

Apply and remove filters

Applying a filter to your report hides data you don’t want to see. To see your hidden data again, just remove the filter.

There are two types of filters:

• Report filters refine the dataset that is used to build your tables or charts. These filters are not affected by what tiles have been dragged on to the canvas, or what kind of table or chart you’re currently using to view your data. Use report filters when you want to explore a particular subset of your data. For example, you could use a report filter to view all your campaigns with the word “brand” in them, or focus on mobile traffic.
• Table filters can be applied to specific columns in your table to filter out rows that don’t meet your specified criteria. If the column being filtered is removed from the table, the filter is removed as well. Use table filters when you want to focus your table on a particular set of rows. For example, you could use a table filter to hide all rows where impressions are less than 500. If you plan on converting your table to a chart, be aware that not all table filters can be transferred to your chart.

Apply a report filter

1. Click the filter button () in the sidebar of the Report Editor.
2. Choose the dimension you’d like to filter. The view expands to display filtering options.
3. Create your filter.
   • Some report filters offer the option of selecting items from a list.
     
   • Some report filters also offer the option for you to define the filter’s logic. For example, you could apply a report filter that only shows ad groups with 1000 or more mobile clicks.
     
4. When you’re finished creating your filter, click Apply. The filter is highlighted in yellow to show that it has been applied to your report.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 to add additional filters as needed.

To remove a report filter, click the close button (X) on the yellow highlighted dimension in the sidebar of the Report Editor.

Apply a table filter

1. Click the triangle button (▼) in the column header. The table filter window is displayed.
2. Create your filter.
   • If you’re applying a table filter to a metric, you’ll be able to define a logical condition to filter based on that metric.
     
   • If you’re applying a filter to a dimension, you’ll be able to choose from a list.
     
3. Click Apply. The filter is added to the column and the logic is highlighted in yellow at the top of the column.

To remove a table filter, click the triangle button (▼) in the column header, then click Remove filter.

Use charts to visualize your data

The Report Editor allows you to view your data as a table, line chart, pie chart, bar chart, or scatter chart. Having multiple options for viewing data means you get to choose the most effective way to analyze and present your account’s statistics.

Format switching allows you to toggle between different reporting formats for the same data. To switch formats, select from one of the four options in the drop-down menu directly above the shelf.
