currency

[hmz]

hi, i am trying to create an if statement with different currency. for example:

Col. A B
C
Value: EUR USD

(can either be EUR, USD)


(if "A2" is a Euro, then the value goes in "B2." If the Value is in US
dollars, then value has to go in "C2." )

How do i write a statement to that can identify between currencies? Thank
you,

hmz you say:-

"the value"

What do you mean by this and in which cell is it to be found?

 

[hmz]

The value as in a number value....for example, instead of it being american
dollars, it is Euros. it would be in A1, A2, A3, etc.

I need excel to recognize the difference between the currency because if it
is usa, then I want the value to be placed in it. etc.

OK so this is what you seem to be saying:-

IF cell A 2 is formatted with a EUR currency symbol in it take the number
(for example 1.00) appearing in cell A 2 and place it into cell B 2 (so B 2
would end up with just 1.00 without the EUR symbol in it).

OR if cell A 2 is formatted with a USD currency symbol in it take the number
(for example 1.00) appearing in cell A 2 and place it into cell C 2 (so C 2
would end up with just 1.00 without the USD symbol in it).

If that is what you are saying I don’t know how to do that (sorry) but
somebody else in this group probably does.

How do you intend to keep track of exchange rates?

Where would that factor be placed on your sheet?

I think you would need VBA to recognize the format and make the appropriate
conversion to EUR or USD.
