More about Meta Ads CSV Normalizer

Meta Ads Manager lets you customize which columns a report includes, which means two exports from the same ad account — pulled on different days or by different team members — can end up with completely different header sets and metric labels. This normalizer maps the common variants ("Amount spent (USD)" vs "Amount spent", "CPC (cost per link click)" vs "CPC (all)") onto one consistent schema covering campaign, ad set and ad names alongside reach, impressions, clicks, spend, CPC, CTR and results. That consistency is what lets you actually merge multiple exports into a single reporting sheet or feed them into a BI dashboard without a manual column-matching pass every time. As with the rest of the marketing normalizers, any column outside the known aliases is preserved rather than discarded, and the whole process happens client-side.
