Download campaigns by campaign ids with performance data

Question

Hi,
I'm a newcomer to bing ads API and was having trouble downloading a bulk report from DownloadCampaignsByCampaignIds. 
In particular I'm having trouble downloading ad performance data from a specific time range. You can see my SOAP request below; the request returns HTTP 500. If I remove the <PerformanceStatsDateRange> block and keep everything else exactly the same,
however, there is no error. But no performance stats will be downloaded, presumably because there is no time period specified.
I would also like to know if this method can download performance stats for ads with 0 impressions during this time period.
Thanks!

Hello.
What is the error code and message observed when you exclude PerformanceStatsDateRange, and which programming language are you using? The following is working for me.

You might try updating namespaces to match, since otherwise the structure of your request looks right. 
I hope this helps,
