MULTI-CURRENCY CONVERTER (OPTIONAL FEATURES)

If you need to generate this report in a specific currency your next step would be to select a Multi-Currency Converter.

You have multiple options here. First of all, you need to choose the report currency. We have chosen “EU” currency. Then by clicking on the radio buttons “Use Latest Rates” or “Use Custom Rates”, you can either request the current exchange rate from the currency exchange rate provider or set your own custom exchange rates.

Use Latest Rate

If you select “Use Latest Rates” and click on the “Execute” button, the report will be generated based on the latest available exchange rate from the exchange rate provider. Everytime you refresh this report, the latest exchange rate will be used.

Your next option is to set up the custom exchange rate. First, you need to select “Use Custom Rates”, enter the desired date, and make a decision to either obtain the exchange rate directly from the exchange rate provider or generate a separate tab with exchange rates for multiple currencies. This additional feature allows you to manually modify any exchange rate values and use them in the report generating process.

Use Custom Rates

Finally, you can generate a report by clicking on the “Execute” button. The report will be populated in the Google Sheet.
