When I run, I get "parsing error. Please check your selector. (line 103)"

I am getting the same error as stated above. Any recommendations to resolve?

Hi Frederick! Same error as above. Did not find the solution. Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi! Great script, thank you for it! I noticed it only works on the Account level. Is there a way to modify it to run it at the MCC level (including several accounts)? Thank you again!

Receiving the same parsing error on the "var report = AdWordsApp.report(query);: line.

Any suggestions?

Figured this out...

Be sure to choose the headings you'd like to populate FIRST on the spreadsheet.

I thought that the script would auto populate those spreadsheet headings, but no. You must first specify which spreadsheet heading you'd like populated.

Script works great.

Hi Frederick, thank you very much for this script!
I second the question from RangermanCharly, I would like to install it on MCC level as well but did not get it to work. Do you have any advice?
