    @Harsha vardhan Thiruveedula - Thanks for the feedback, and we'll update the error string and documentation to clarify. We do also require Impressions for this report in the Microsoft Advertising UI.

    @Eric Urban - MSFT

    Hi!
    Same issue with AgeGendeAudienceReport, in the documentation the Required Columns - AccountName, AdGroupName, AgeGroup, Gender, TimePeriod.
    But without Impressions it throw this exception.

    Best regards,
    Yosef
