How to leverage the Buckets Breakdown Report

When using the Buckets Breakdown report - you will need to utilize a Pivot table along with custom fields to create the view best suited to answer your priority questions.

If you optimize to a CPA goal

If you optimize primarily to a CPA goal, you will want to include custom fields in your pivot table to calculate CPA by attribution type and customer type (new vs. repeat).

Calculations to leverage for CPA

These can be copied and pasted directly into your google sheet/excel doc.

First touch: =if(first_touch=0,0,(spend)/(first_touch))

Last touch: =if(last_touch=0,0,(spend)/(last_touch))

Even weight: =if(even=0,0,(spend)/(even))

MTA/Normalized: =if(normalized=0,0,(spend)/(normalized))

New customers (normalized): =if(ntf_normalized=0,0,(spend)/(ntf_normalized))

Returning customers (normalized): =if(normalized-ntf_normalized = 0,0,(spend)/(normalized-ntf_normalized))

If you optimize to a ROAS goal

If you optimize primarily to a ROAS goal, you will want to include custom fields in your pivot table to calculate ROAS by attribution type and customer type (new vs. repeat).

📘

Calculations to leverage for ROAS

First touch: =if(spend=0,0,revenue_first_touch/spend)

Last touch: =if(spend=0,0,revenue_last_touch/spend)

Even weight: =if(spend=0,0,revenue_even/spend)

MTA/Normalized: =if(spend=0,0,revenue_normalized/spend)

Returning customers (normalized): =if(spend=0,0,(revenue_normalized - ntf_revenue_normalized)/spend)

New customers (normalized): =if(spend=0,0,ntf_revenue_normalized/spend)
