this is the index

CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [ix_report_history_creative_id] ON [dbo].[DFP_Reports_History]

(

[Dimension CREATIVE_ID] ASC

)

INCLUDE ( [ClientID],

[DateOfdata],

[Dimension LINE_ITEM_ID],

[Impressions],

[Clicks]) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

Are you sure you're checking the correct database? The index mentioned in the error has 5 key columns, the only you posted the definition of only has 1. They're definitely not the same thing.

Also check that there isn't a indexed view with an index of the same name.

exactly. i noticed the same thing. the table has 4 indexes, one of which is unique. the clustered. it's on the below

[ClientID] ASC,

[DateOfdata] ASC,

[Dimension LINE_ITEM_ID] ASC,

[Dimension CREATIVE_ID] ASC,

[Ad_ID_Concatenated_ID] ASC

verified. no indexed view and it's in the right db

EXECUTE sp_MSforeachdb @command1 ='SELECT ''?'',o.name as view_name, i.name as index_name

FROM ?.dbo.sysobjects o

INNER JOIN ?.dbo.sysindexes i

ON o.id = i.id

WHERE o.xtype = ''V'' ';

The index that's being complained about has as key columns (BIGINT, INT (or SMALLINT, TINYINT or BIT), DATE INT, INT). Double check the server, database, everything. It's not that uncommon for people to make that mistake. I've made it enough times.

Don't use sysindexes and sysobjects, they were deprecated 10 years ago.
