currency conversion

[Colin Basterfield]

Hi

I am trying to consolidate excel budget info from about 5 different
countries with different
currencies. Is there a tool that allows me to convert all of these into,
for example, Euros
or US dollars using todays exchange rates?

Any info is much appreciated!

Thanks
Susan

Colin,

Setup a web query
Data>External Data>Web Query
with a URL of
http://www.x-rates.com/d/USD/table.html
to get the rates onto a spreadsheet, and then to access the rates use a
formula like
=INDEX(C1:C1000,MATCH("Euro",TRIM(B1:B1000),0),1)
to get the Euro to USD rate or
=INDEX(D11000,MATCH("Euro",TRIM(B1:B1000),0),1)
to get the USD to Euro rate

These formula are array formula so enter with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
