Non-aggregatable metrics
This article describes how Facebook Ads non-aggregatable metrics work in Funnel. Click here to learn more about non-aggregatable metrics in general.
Metrics
This report currently gets you three metrics in its simplest form: Reach, Frequency and Unique clicks (all).
Note: All three metrics are estimated and based on sampled data.
Reach
The number of people who saw your ads at least once. Reach is different from impressions, which may include multiple views of your ads by the same people.
Reach gives you a measure of how many people were exposed to your message during an ad campaign. People may not always click on your ads, but they may be more likely to engage with your business when they see your message. Your reach can be affected by your bid, budget and audience targeting.
Frequency
The average number of times each person saw your ad.
Frequency helps to build awareness and recall by showing your message to people in your target audience multiple times. Frequency may average 1 to 2 per ad set or may be much higher, depending on your budget, audience size and schedule.
Unique clicks (all)
The number of people who performed a click (all).
The metric counts multiple types of clicks on your ad, including certain types of interactions with the ad container, links to other destinations, and links to expanded ad experiences. It includes:
- Link clicks
- Clicks to the associated business Page profile or profile picture
- Post reactions (such as likes or loves)
- Comments or shares
- Clicks to expand media (such as photos) to full screen
- Clicks to take actions identified as your campaign objective (such as liking your Page for a Page engagement campaign)
Additional metrics

Adding a data source
When connecting a Facebook non-aggregatable source you need to make two decisions:
Level
Available: account, campaign, ad set & ad
Some fields for levels “above” selected level will be included. So, connecting on ad level gets you ID and name for ad set and Campaign, besides ad data.
Time window
Available: 1, 7, 14, 30, 90 days, calendar month & lifetime
The time window you select will determine how many days of data each value represents.
If you select lifetime, each value will represent the total up until the date of the data point in question.
If you select calendar month, each value will represent the total from the first of the month up until the date of the data point in question.
Unique actions and conversions
Check this if you want to include unique actions and conversions among your metrics.
Attribution windows
If you have opted to include unique actions and conversions you will also need to choose attribution windows.
Breakdowns
Available: All breakdowns
Some breakdowns are only available in combination with "Unique Actions and Conversions". You won't be able to select these metrics unless you have opted to include "Unique Actions and Conversions".
Viewing the data in Funnel
In the Funnel Data Explorer, you need to select “Date” and the “ID” dimension for the level you selected in the setup, e.g. Ad ID, Ad Set ID or Campaign ID.
ID or name?
While the name of a Campaign, Ad Set or Ad may be easier to work with, ID has the advantage that it is guaranteed to be unique.
So if you happen to have two Campaigns with the same name and look at your data by Date and Campaign Name only, you won’t see any values for your non-aggregatable metrics.
Therefore we recommend that you include both the ID and name of your Campaigns, Ad Sets or Ads, even if name is the dimension you’re interested in.
Examples
I want to see daily frequency of my ads.
Connect a Facebook ads source on Ad level with "1 Day" time window.
In the data explorer, select dimensions "Date", "Ad ID", "Ad Name" and the metric "Frequency (1 Day, Ad)".
I want to see the weekly reach of a specific campaign.
Connect your Facebook ads source on Campaign level and with a "7 Day" time window.
Select dimensions "Date", "Campaign ID", "Campaign Name" "Day of week" (plus any other campaign level dimensions of interest) and the metric "Reach (7 Day, Campaign)".
Filter on "Day of Week" = "Sunday" and "Campaign Name" = <The name of the campaign you’re interested in>
Each row will now show the weekly (the week preceding the date of the row) reach for a campaign.
I want to see the total reach of my ad account.
Connect your Facebook Ads source on account level with a "lifetime" time window.
In the data explorer, select dimension "Date" and metric "Reach (Account, Lifetime)".
Select today's date to see the most recent value.
I want to see unique purchases by campaign and calendar month.
Connect your Facebook Ads source on campaign level with a "calendar month" time window. Check the box "Include Unique Actions and Conversions" and select your attribution settings.
In the data explorer, select dimensions "Date", "Campaign ID", "Campaign Name", "Attribution Window" and the metric "Unique Purchases (Campaign, Calendar Month)".
