How to export LinkedIn Ads reports as CSV

To analyze campaign spending and results in a spreadsheet, prepare a report in Campaign Manager. Start with the right account and date range, then choose the metrics you need and check the downloaded CSV before sharing it.

Choose the account and reporting level

You need access to the ad account. LinkedIn says every user with that access can download CSV reports; it does not require a Page admin role for this task. Decide whether you need campaign, ad set or ad metrics, or an export from the account list. LinkedIn’s report export instructions.

Export campaigns, ad sets or ads

1. Open your ad account in Campaign Manager and click Advertise in the left menu.
2. Choose the campaign, ad set or ad tab you need. Use dashboard search or filters to find the relevant items.
3. Confirm Time range in the upper-right corner. Set the dates the file should cover.
4. Click Export. In Export CSV Report, choose a Report Type that matches the metrics you need.
5. For ad set or ad performance reports, including their Audience Network equivalents, choose a Column view: all columns, a default view or a custom view.
6. Where available, choose Time breakdown: Daily, Monthly or All. Professional Demographics does not offer a time breakdown.
7. Click Export in the dialog to download the CSV.

Level selection, search and filters are described in the reporting dashboard guide. The dialog and its exceptions are covered in the export instructions.

Export from the account list

1. In Campaign Manager, click the account name in the upper-left corner, then View all accounts at the bottom of the left menu.
2. Select the checkbox next to the intended account or accounts.

Check the file and available metrics

Open the CSV and compare its account, dates, rows and headers with your selections. Keep an original copy and record the report type and breakdown when sharing it. If the file is empty or expected items are missing, recheck the dates, reporting level and filters.

If a column is missing, check whether it can be exported before downloading again. LinkedIn lists dashboard columns such as Key results, Cost per result and Bid as unavailable for export. Reporting dashboard limitations.
