Google Analytics Certification Q&A — Structured Data Files (SDFs) in DV360
Q: Your colleague needs to update details of a large campaign and wants to use structured data files (SDFs) to make changes. Before uploading everything to Display & Video 360, they ask you to double-check the files. You find an error. What setting could be causing it?
- There's a single SDF with both line item and insertion order rows.
- There's an SDF for modifying inventory sources.
- There's an SDF with 100 line items in a single file.
- There's an SDF with rows for both editing and removing line items. ✅
✅ Correct Answer: There's an SDF with rows for both editing and removing line items.
Explanation:
In Display & Video 360 (DV360), Structured Data Files (SDFs) are used to manage campaign components like line items, insertion orders, and ads. Each SDF file can only perform one type of action — either edit or remove — but not both.
If you include rows for both editing and removing line items in a single file, the upload will fail with an error message. To fix this, separate your actions into two files: one for edits and another for deletions.
💡 Quick Tip for Your Certification Exam
Always double-check SDFs for consistent operation types before uploading. This question commonly appears in DV360 certification tests to check your understanding of campaign management workflows.
