Hello r/excel
I recently created an excel document for my Dungeons and Dragons group
to track inventory items / loot / house bank etc and I thought, "Hey it would be really
cool if there was a way to convert and condense the in-game currency to a sum total inside the document."
In our example we compared the currency unit values from cells A5 (USD) and B5 (GBP), the returned result is the conversion rate which is 0.083239. This rate is frequently changing, the returned number will change when the spreadsheet is opened or edited.
I have simple yet specific thing i would like to do in Google spreadsheets. Basically it's currency conversion, but instead of usual solution (one way conversion) I need something more complex - both way conversion.
i have an excel sheet having column name as amount and the task is to convert the amounto to INR to USD .having website www.xe.com/currencyconvertor and paste into the same excel having column name INR and column USD.CURRENCY.xlsx (7.8 KB)

I would like to know how to use PAD to extract daily exchange rates using the websites historical data tables when a date is selected and then extracting that data into excel, either using the Get Data function or copy and pasting the table into an excel sheet.
Plus I tweaked Stage 6 as the Set 'Store data mode' = Excel spreadsheet opens up excel at this point and later in Stage 8 excel is blank. My Stage 6 now has Set 'Store data mode' = Variable and then I changed the variable name to %DataFromWebpage% to keep track with your solution.
Yes, indeed : easily done by exporting to an excel sheet and multiplying results by the destination currency exchange rate. This is exactly the procedure I do now, as I described it in my initial post. But you have to admit it would be easier if we could simple convert the report directly to another destination currency with a single push of the button : same result as with excel export, but much faster and already formatted. As to IAS standards :my example is a very simple one, I know how to consolidate and what needs to be taken into consideration for consolidated reports; That was not the topic of my post.
Regards

If you are involved in work or in business that deals with transacting with individuals from different parts of the globe, you would know that it can be frustrating to keep track of the different currencies. Having an international clientele requires you to have an updated and efficient currency converter so that you can accurately compute for your costs as well as your revenue.
@Brendan_Woithe are you able to kindly share any more info on your setup with this? e.g. you mentioned a bit of coding on the Google Sheets side, what was required here? I thought Google sheets had its own currency conversion that you could pull in? Or is it that using your method is more accurate?
Click the worksheet with your imported currency rates. If you're using FloatRates data, look at the exchange rates under the "exchangeRate" column. Note the cell that contains the rate of the currency to which you want to convert.
Did you know that 164 currencies are circulated in the world? Our Google Sheet-compatible templates are pretty flexible when it comes to different currencies since Google Sheets provides ways so you can change presets to your desired currency formats. In this article, we will learn how to change the Currency in Google Sheets and how to create a currency converter using Google Sheets. You can use the Google Sheet multiplication formula to apply the conversion factor to the current data if you want to convert one Currency's value into another, and some functions that can automate getting accurate and timely Forex data unique to Google Sheets.
Before you do anything else, ensure that the numbers in question are formatted as Currency. To do this, select the cells you want to format. In the main menu, open up the format menu. This, in Excel, would be similar to the custom number format pane. Go to number, then press Currency. All numbers in selected cells are formatted as Currency with the Google Sheets default currency, USD. To change some currency numbers to another type of Currency, such as the Euro, select the cells you want to change. Reopen the Formatting options and number formats, but instead of pressing Currency, go ahead and select the custom currency to create a custom currency format. Please select the currency format we want, Euros, or browse to see more designs and new currencies. This list is arranged alphabetically, so you won't have a problem searching for the right one for your spreadsheet. The selected numbers now have a different currency symbol applied to them.
Now that we know how to change the Currency let's see how we can change the default currency format for your convenience. I wouldn't want to change the formatting whenever a new spreadsheet is made. Assuming that we checked the number formats pane and saw that our default currency format is USD and that we want to change it to Euro... Go to File, then click on settings to open up the spreadsheet settings. Select the country you want your default currency format set in the Locale drop-down. Since we want our default currency set to Euros, let's select a country with the Euro as its Currency. Go ahead and press save settings, and there you go! If you go back into the format > numbers pane, you can see that all the defaults have been changed to the Euro.
Luckily for us users, Google Sheets lives in a world where the internet exists. So unlike Microsoft Excel, where you'd need to import and link an external XML file, the Google Suite provides incredibly unique functions that change the game. In our Euro Conversion column, let's enter this formula =GOOGLEFINANCE("Currency:USD EUR") This formula gathers financial data that is readily available across the internet. We told it to look for Currency, and after the colon, we specified the base (USD) and targeted Currency (EUR). Note that you need to know the ticker symbols for each Currency for this to work correctly. Once you press enter, it loads while it gathers your data and gives you the conversion rate we can use for our converter. Do note that this will only extract the conversion value. You will have to be the one to set the currency symbol and the currency format.
As we know, some formulas in Google sheet are different with those in Excel sheet, such as t the formula for calculating currency conversion. Here, I introduce the formulas on several cases to calculate the currency conversion and the currency rate in Google sheet.
An example where a currency exception is needed is an investment on a balance sheet that must be held at a fixed rate until it is liquidated. Another common example might include the holding of inventory.
On the Currency Exception Setup page, click Output All to download and view an Excel spreadsheet with defined currency exceptions. This spreadsheet lists accounts by code and name, company, and exception information. An example is provided below. In this example, company 1010 is converted with a BOY exception for accounts, 1090, 1100, 1102, and so on.
