  • Each report writes to a worksheet you choose, in a workbook in your OneDrive.
  • Refreshes every week on Free, every day on Plus, every 6 hours on Pro and every hour on Max.
  • Up to 10,000 rows a report.

Your first scheduled report starts 30 days of Plus, free. No card needed.

Spend is in your account's currency.

An example

Insert a PivotTable on a separate worksheet that reads from the Spend by campaign worksheet, with Campaign in Rows and Total installs in Values.

Scheduling and refresh

How often depends on your plan: every week on Free, every day on Plus, every 6 hours on Pro and every hour on Max.

Each run that succeeds counts once towards your plan, wherever it sends.

Each run replaces the worksheet with the latest figures.

Other ways to do it

Apple Ads can download a custom report as an XLSX file.

Fresh Sheets writes the figures straight into your worksheet instead.

What Fresh Sheets touches

Only the worksheets your reports use

While you choose where a report goes, Fresh Sheets reads the names of the files and folders in your OneDrive and shows you only folders and workbooks. When a report refreshes, it reads and replaces that report's own worksheet. It creates a new workbook only when you ask it to, and doesn't change or delete anything else in your OneDrive.
