New Report Wizard^β

The Report Wizard is a tool for viewing statistics that allows you to analyze the effectiveness of your campaigns and provides detailed information about their performance. With the Report Wizard, you can create custom reports based on various combinations of data cross-sections and metrics tailored to your goals.

You can access it in the Statistics section in the Yandex Direct Pro sidebar menu, when editing a campaign, and on the campaign overview page.

How to create a report

You can create a new report in one of the following ways:

• On the sidebar, select Statistics → New Report Wizard or Statistics → My reports → Create new report.

  

• On the campaign editing page, click next to the campaign name and select Statistics (new) from the dropdown list.

  

• On the campaign page, click next to the desired campaign and select Statistics (new) from the dropdown list. This method isn't available for campaigns created using the Campaign Wizard.

  

• On the campaigns page, select one or more campaigns and click Statistics for 2 campaigns (new) in the context menu at the bottom of the screen or in the dropdown list that appears when you click Actions. This method isn't available for campaigns created using the Campaign Wizard.

  

You can set the new Report Wizard as the default tool. In this case, it's used for all links to statistics. To do this, open the new Report Wizard, click in the upper-right corner, and select Set as the default interface. You can change this setting at any time.

Report settings

Period

Select a custom period or choose from the suggested options. All available time periods can be found in the dropdown list.

If you want to see data for the current day in your report, select Including today. For example, if you select the last 7 days (including today) on April 10, your report will show data from April 4 through April 10. If you don't select this option, the data will be from April 3 to April 9.

Reports can include basic data for the last three years.

Full search query data is available for the last six months. For longer periods, the information may be incomplete: while the number of impressions, clicks, and other metric values will be accurate, the query text may be undefined for some auctions.

Example

Site type	Search query	Impressions	Clicks
Yandex Search	buy a kettle	1,000	100
Yandex Search	buy a pan	900	80
Yandex Search	–	500	40

Compare periods

When analyzing data, you can view statistics for a custom period or compare two periods within the same report.

To compare periods, set the first period, click Comparison, then select another period:

• Last equal period.

• Last week.

• Last month.

• Last year.

Alternatively, you can manually specify a custom period for comparison by clicking Enter period. The two selected periods for comparison must not overlap.

To swap the specified periods, click between them.

The service remembers your comparison settings when saving reports. For example, you can create and save a week-over-week comparison report and access it from My reports whenever you need.

To make working with large reports more convenient, you can pin a desired column so it remains visible when scrolling horizontally. To do this, click next to the column name and select Pin column.

You can select red or green to indicate trends in metric changes. Choose which color should highlight positive or negative changes.

You can set your desired color parameters for the entire table or for individual columns. These settings are automatically saved for all reports. You can change them as needed.

Accounts

In the new Report Wizard, you can create reports for multiple accounts if you're using a manager account. To do this, select the accounts and specify the desired campaigns.

Manager accounts have access to the Account dimension. You can add it to reports to get data for different accounts, such as their expenses.

Dimensions and metrics

Metrics and dimensions are divided into semantic groups. You can search for them by name. All dimensions can be expanded.

For dimensions, choose what data you want to see in your report, and for metrics, select the performance indicators to display for these dimensions. Select at least one metric to generate a report.

The settings menu on the right shows your selected dimensions and metrics. Drag the bidirectional arrow icon to reorder items, or remove the ones you don't need.

Some dimensions, including their associated filters, may be incompatible and not work with certain metrics. If you encounter this problem, you'll see a hint with a list of incompatible items.

Goals and attribution

Choose the goals you want to calculate conversion metrics (Conversions, CPA, and other) for. You can find them by name or ID of the goal or tag. If you don't select any goals, the conversion metrics will reflect the number of converted sessions that have at least one achieved goal.

Customize how conversion metrics are displayed in your statistics. Select Total for all selected goals, Separately for each goal, or both. To see each of your goals in its own column, select up to 20 goals. If you select more than 20 goals, you'll only see the total number of conversions for all selected goals.

Users might visit your website multiple times. For example, they might click an ad, then click a link in search results or open a bookmark saved in their browser. Attribution is a rule that determines which of the clicks is the source of the session.

Select an attribution model for which to display statistics.

Filters

Filters help you remove irrelevant data and focus on the most important information.

By default, the system filters out archived campaigns if your account is older than six months. This speeds up report generation for accounts with large amounts of data.

How filters work together

• Filters use the logical AND operator to find intersections between blocks of data.

• When you select multiple filters:

  • Logical OR operator applies for the Equals and Contains operators.
  • Logical AND operator applies for the "Doesn't equal to" and "Doesn't contain" operators.

• For text data, such as campaign names, you can set up multiple filters to create complex conditions. You can also select multiple text filters using the Contains operator.

Example

Filter condition	Campaign names	Filtering results
"contains catalogs OR catalogues" AND "contains Moscow OR msk" AND "doesn't contain promo AND campaign"	Russia_Catalogs_Promo_spring_2025 Russia_Catalogs_Main_spring_2025 MSK_Catalogs_Promo_spring_2025 MSK_Catalogs_Main_spring_2025 MSK_Target_Main_spring_2025 russia_catalogues_promo_summer_2025 russia_catalogues_main_summer_2025 msk_catalogues_promo_summer_2025 msk_catalogues_categories_summer_2025 msk_target_main_summer_2025 Russia_catalogs_campaign_spring_2025 Russia_catalogs_main_fall_2025 moscow_catalogs_campaign_fall_2025 moscow_catalogs_main_fall_2025	MSK_Catalogs_Main_spring_2025 msk_catalogues_categories_summer_2025 moscow_catalogs_main_fall_2025

Other filtering features

• For filter by campaigns or numeric values, such as group numbers, you can enter a list of IDs separated by commas or line breaks.

• Filters using the Contains operator support the following special characters:

  ^: Corresponds to any single character. For example, the filter condition “Campaign name contains speciali^ed” will include campaigns with names “Specialized_Search_Msk” and “Specialised_YAN_Russia”.

  *: Corresponds to any number of any characters. For example, the filter condition “Campaign name contains Promo*Search” will include campaigns with names “Direct_Promo_MSK_Search” and “Promo_Russia_Search_2”.

Details

Break the data down by day, week, month, quarter, or year. If no conditions are set, the report will show all data for the selected period.

How to save or edit a report

Create different report versions for specific purposes and share them.

To save your report, in the upper-right corner, click Save report → Save report as new one. When saving, you can select users who will have access to the report, such as only you or all account representatives.

To view and edit saved reports, go to the left menu and select Statistics → My reports. To duplicate, rename, or delete a report, click next to its name and select the required action.

To edit the report, open it, make changes, and, in the upper-right corner, click Save report → Save report settings.

To create a new report based on an existing one:

• Open the report and make changes.
• In the upper-right corner, click Save report and select Save report as new one in the drop-down list.

Any report can be renamed or deleted.

If you edit and save the report that's available to all account representatives, everyone will see this change. The same happens when you rename or delete a report.

To share the report, click Share in the upper-right corner, then copy the link in the window that opens. In addition, the window displays the link's validity period. The report will be accessible to users who have access to your account.

Revenue and conversion value

The new Report Wizard offers the "Revenue" and "Conversion value" metrics, which help you track the performance of your Yandex Direct campaigns based on the business indicators.

The "Revenue" metric is now calculated only for your selected goals. From the sidebar menu, go to Conversions → Revenue metric settings and specify the goals for which you want to calculate revenue and its derived metrics: CRR, ROI, and profit. If you select multiple goals, revenue is calculated as a total across all goals. You can choose goals that source data from Yandex Metrica, MMPs, or offline conversions. Goals that don't track revenue won't be factored into your revenue metric until Yandex Direct starts receiving that data.

The "Conversion value” metric reflects your evaluation: what economic benefits your business will earn if the goals are achieved. You can also use its derived metrics: CRR, ROI, and profit based on value. To transmit a conversion value to the service, specify the value in your campaign strategy settings, Yandex Metrica, MMP, or offline conversion data.
