Specifies one or more device types to operate on. For example, Clicks.for_device_type("mobile") returns the number of clicks from mobile devices during the report's time range.
If you don't use this function, a formula operates on data for all device types.
You can attach this function to any expression in the formula language that can be segmented by device type. For example, you can add it to the end of any function call, column reference (Search Ads 360-provided columns, Floodlight activity columns, or other formula columns), Search Ads 360 variable, or constant value, as long as the data can be segmented by device type.
