Help with a Currency Conversion

laurenceharper

Hi there, wondering if anyone can assist....

I am looking for a way to take various native currency amounts in say 2 separate columns (i.e. USD and EUR) - when I enter a respective amount a formula automatically takes that value, changes it to GBP in a separate destination column cell. The exchange rate can be a fixed rate - say USD to GBP being 0.72 for example.

Many thanks

Paul Newcome

Are you able to provide some screenshots for reference?

Here's the formula again. (I noticed a typo)

=IF([Amount in Native GBP (No exchange rate required)]@row > 0, 
[Amount in Native GBP (No exchange rate required)]@row, 
IF([Amount in Native USD (USD to GBP @ 0.72)]@row > 0, 
[Amount in Native USD (USD to GBP @ 0.72)]@row * 0.72, 
IF([Amount in Native Euro (EUR to GBP @ 0.86)]@row > 0, 
[Amount in Native Euro (EUR to GBP @ 0.86)]@row * 0.86)))

Hi @laurenceharper

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this in the Stock Deployment Amount column.

=IF([Amount in Native GBP (No exchange rate rquired)]@row > 0, 
[Amount in Native GBP (No exchange rate rquired)]@row, 
IF([Amount in Native USD (USD to GBP @ 0.72)]@row > 0, 
[Amount in Native USD (USD to GBP @ 0.72)]@row * 0.72, 
IF([Amount in Native Euro (EUR to GBP @ 0.86)]@row > 0, 
[Amount in Native Euro (EUR to GBP @ 0.86)]@row * 0.86)))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend & Happy Thanksgiving!

@Andrée Starå's formula is what I would also suggest.
