Google has sure been busy revising and updating Adwords. I, for one, welcome 99% of the changes they have recently made. Thank you, Google, for listening to your advertisers.
But, I have issue with the new reporting functionality. For agencies, these changes have amounted in a lot of unnecessary time being spent generating the same reports we have always provided our clients. In particular, I have lost the ability to run a single report containing "broken out" data on all levels of distribution. Where once I could run a single custom report and easily pull out Content figures from Search figures, now I have to use the filter and run the report two times-- eventually combining the data into a single report for my clients.
This could easily be fixed by once again making distribution a top level check-box selection instead of a drop-down from the filter list.
Has anyone found a workaround for this?
The new reports are just taking me twice as long to retrieve the same information.
Making 'distribution' as a column option would fix this issue.

Thanks for noticing, arinick!

I must second this.
Point well taken. I actually spotted your similar post last week, eWhisper, and included it in the Advertiser Feedback Report.
Although I have not yet been able to confirm it right from the source, word has it that this should be coming soon.

By the way, I am crazy about the new "Available Campaigns and Adgroups" selector-- that outline-style layout could certainly come in handy in some other areas (how about on the Campaign Summary page? wow, imagine how great that would be!).
