[MS Newsgroups]

Does anyone have a good idea of a formula to convert US Dollars to Euros?

In A1 the conversion rate, assume it is based on what one dollar is in Euros
(0.744139 rate for today), in B1 the amount in dollars, in C1

=A1*B1


if you have what one Euro is in dollars (1.34393 rate for today) in A1 then
use

=B1/A1

hi
this is usually based on exchange rate which changes often. you would have
to have up to date exchange rates from an outside source.

if $ were in column A then
=A1*exchange rate.
you could put the daily exchange rate in a cell.. say...R5?
=A1*$R$5 copy down
current exchange rate is .74380 Euros per US$.
A1 = $1000.00
using formula above
=1000.00*.74380= 743.80 Euros
