This data can be generated in a Custom Report, with a drilldown dimension, but the 
drilldown cannot be exported. Is this part of a larger issue with not being able to 
export drilldown data - or is this specific to this combination?

This may, or may not, be a related item but It seems very similiar. To me that when you are using campaign tagging to the full extent on your site; Campaign name, source, terms, content and keywords - You should be able to use the api to query this same data.  This seems to be a huge flaw.  I can successfully combine name, content, source and terms to generate reports, but as soon as I use the AdContent field to distinguish my last level of details between tracked links I receive the dreaded "Illegal combination of dimensions and metrics".  

I am not sure why this occurs since i can parse this data using the web client.  We have a custom CMS in my work place and all redirect and campaign tracking URLS are tracked and reported through a centralized interface.   

Jason-
Can you be more specific?
Your Dimensions are:
ga:campaign
ga:source
ga:adContent
"terms"
"content"
ga:keyword

what are the dimensions you're referring to as "terms" and "content", if not keyword and adContent?  And what metrics are you querying for?

Hello,

I am also being affected by this issue:
The analytics group at my company populate their datawarehouse with Google Analytics Ecommerce content in order to perform in-house marketing analysis & reporting. 

To save them time, I am trying to create an automated tool that will save them the time from having to manually export the report and populate the db.

Dimensions:
ga:transactionId,ga:source,ga:medium,ga:campaign,ga:keyword,ga:adContent,ga:visitorType,ga:landingPagePath

Metrics:
ga:itemRevenue,ga:transactionTax,ga:transactionShipping,ga:itemQuantity

The data needs to be organized with ga:transactionId as the key.

Taking the 7 dimension limit into consideration, my queries to the DataExport API fail anytime time I include ga:adContect or ga:landingPagePath in the 'dimensions' argument.

Error: Bad request - Illegal combination of dimensions and metrics

For the team, it is very important to have ga:adContent and ga:landingPagePath keyed to ga:transactionId.

Is there a work-around for this issue? What are the chances that this will be fixed in the near future?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Removing an obsolete label that was used when these issues were in the gdata-issues project.

Changing the issue type to match the organization desired in this project.

i am also affected by this.

is there any workaround?

I have found this issue by trying to analyse the average purchase price from a split test campaign where the separating variable was ad content. I was surprised to see that medium, source, campaign are linked to transactions but not ad content.

I add my vote to this as well.

Hi,

We would like to query ecommerce metrics ga:transactions and ga:itemRevenue with the dimension combination ga:date,ga:source,ga:medium,ga:campaign,ga:adContent,ga:productSku. With the above combinations getting the error as 'Selected dimensions and metrics cannot be queried together'. Is there a workaround for this issue?

Thank you!

Same here, especially with Google's focus on ecommerce it seems like adContent which is  one of the campaign tracking dimensions should be queri-able with transactionId. 

What exactly can be queried with transaction id?  I am working on an automated SSIS package to pull transactionid, hour of day, campaign, adgroup, and keyword with the clicks, cost, and impressions metrics, but keep getting invalid dimension and combination errors.  Which of these can I query together?

This issue has my vote as well!
