Attribution reference

Reference for the Attribution Performance Table, with each table level, column group, export option, and row detail view.

This page lists the options of the Performance Table section and of the details of a row. For the columns of the table, see Metrics and summary cards.

In a label on this page, a word in braces is a value that depends on the account. The outcome is the name of the target, for example revenue. The efficiency is the efficiency metric of the target, for example ROAS.

The capture shows the section on the Channels tab, with the spend column and the modeled columns.

The Performance Table on the Channels tab, with Spend and the modeled columns MMM Revenue, MMM ROAS, and Marginal ROAS for nine channels
TabRows
ChannelsOne row for each channel. This tab is the first tab.
TacticsOne row for each tactic.
CampaignsOne row for each campaign.
GroupColumns
Data inputSpend.
Modeled (MMM)The modeled columns for all selected models together, and MMM {outcome} %.
Channel ReportedThe figures that each ad platform reports.
By modelWith 2 or more models, one sub-group for each model with the modeled columns of that model.
Additional targetsModeled columns from a different target of your account. A target with 2 or more models has an Aggregate sub-group and one sub-group for each model.
OtherColumns with no group, for example Campaign ID.

A word in braces stands for a value from your account or your plan.

OptionWhat the file contains
Export with visible columns onlyA CSV of the table with the columns that are on screen, except Marginal {efficiency}. No export contains that column.
Export with all columnsA CSV of the table with every available column.

Export channel spend breakdownA CSV with the full periodic spend breakdown for each channel. You select the period first.

A word in braces stands for a value from your account or your plan.

Arrow labelMeaning
Better than averageGreen. The title of the arrow reads Higher than average MMM {efficiency} for a ratio such as ROAS, and Lower than average MMM {efficiency} for a cost such as CAC.
Near average MMM {efficiency}Amber, with an arrow that points right. The marginal value is within 5% of the average.
Worse than averageRed. The title of the arrow reads Lower than average MMM {efficiency} for a ratio such as ROAS, and Higher than average MMM {efficiency} for a cost such as CAC.
Comparison unavailableGray, with an arrow that points right. The product has no direction for the campaign.
Marginal {efficiency} unavailableA gray dot. The campaign has no curve.

A word in braces stands for a value from your account or your plan.

RuleValue
Default columnsSpend, MMM {outcome}, MMM {efficiency}, Channel {outcome}, and Channel {efficiency}. The table also shows Marginal {efficiency} after the modeled columns. Every other column is off until you turn it on. Reset to defaults restores this set.
Marginal column positionEach tab adds Marginal {efficiency} after the last modeled column.
Default sortSpend, from high to low.
SortA column heading sorts the table by the column. A second selection reverses the order. With Compare on, a metric column has four states in turn: value from high to low, value from low to high, change from high to low, and change from low to high. Marginal {efficiency} has no change and keeps the two value states.
Rows per page5, 10, 25, 50, or 100. The default is 25.
Campaigns of one rowThe name of a row on the Channels tab or the Tactics tab is a link. The link opens the Campaigns tab with only the campaigns of that row, and a banner names the row.
Details of one rowThe arrow before the name of a row opens or closes the details of the row. The name of the row does not open the details.
Tab changeA change of tab clears the search and the campaign banner.
Order of the column groupsA drag of a band above the columns moves the whole group of columns to a new place in the table.
Export rowsThe two table exports contain each row that matches the filters, on every page of the table, with the Total row first. With Compare on, each metric also has the figure of the comparison period and the change. The periodic export has no Total row.
Column widthA drag of the edge of a column heading changes the width of the column.

ViewWhat it shows
SaturationThe modeled response curve of the row, with a spend scenario. The panel opens on this view when the row has a curve.
CompareA chart of two metrics over time for the row.
AttributionThe Base and Halo flows of the row.
ValueMeaning
StrongThe range is tight and the actual results agree with the curve.
ModerateThe range is usable, or the history is too short to check the curve.
DirectionalThe range is wide, or the spend is beyond any spend in the history.

The table gives the text that the product shows in a tooltip of the row details.

LabelTooltip
Seasonal ForecastProjects the saturation curve using expected seasonal demand, so you can plan spend around upcoming peaks and dips. Covers the next {N} days.
Model confidenceTrust in the curve at the selected spend. Strong — tight range, actuals agree. Moderate — usable range, or too little history to check. Directional — wide range, or spend beyond anything observed.
Confidence bandThe shaded range shows where actual {outcome} is likely to land at each spend level. A tighter band means a more certain estimate.
Explore Spend ScenarioExplore different spend scenarios with the slider, or enter an exact spend or percentage change.

A word in braces stands for a value from your account or your plan.

RuleValue
Open a rowThe arrow before the name of a Performance Table row opens or closes the panel. On the Channels tab and the Tactics tab, the name of the row opens the Campaigns tab and does not open the panel.
First viewSaturation when the row has a curve. Compare when the row has no curve.
Compare view granularityThe same rule as the main chart: day is available only when all selected models are daily.
Scenario limitThe scenario spend stops at 1.5 times the highest spend in the history of the row, or at the end of the curve when that is lower. For a spend above the highest spend in the history, Model confidence is Directional.
History on the chartDots on the chart are the modeled periods of the history of the row. A period with a modeled outcome above the range of the chart shows as a triangle on the top edge, and a line under the results gives the number of such periods.
Curve of a tactic rowWhen a tactic has 2 or more modeled curves, a menu above the chart selects the curve.
Curve pointThe chart tooltip reads Observed for a spend inside the history of the row and Extrapolated for a spend beyond the history.
