So, we want to calculate an weighed quality score by normalizes averages. You can do this in Excel with pivot tables and using the formula Quality Scores * Impressions/ Impression for each ad groups. Using a scatter plot can show you differences in averages and normalized quality scores. Using a trend line, we can see all data points above the line are positive differences and those below show differences in quality scores indicating that the average is higher than the weighted quality scores.
