It often happens that we need to attach a price to a certain currency. At the same time, the item may be sold in various currencies. Google Sheets contains an extremely convenient tool for currency conversion that you won't find in other programs.I'm speaking about the GOOGLEFINANCE function. It retrieves current or archival financial information from Google Finance. And today we'll examine the function together.How to use GOOGLEFINANCE to get current currency exchange ratesEven though GOOGLEFINANCE is capable of many things, we're interested in its ability to fetch currency exchange rates. The syntax of the function is as follows. GOOGLEFINANCE('CURRENCY:', attribute, startdate, numdays enddate, interval).
May 05, 2014 Re: Insert live exchange rate? Hi, I know that this is a post from some time ago but I am trying to do the same thing and failing to get it to work. I have attached what happens when I try to import the currency convertor. This Excel addin gets you the live currency conversion data in Excel for free and exposes various currency related functions which helps you convert one currency to another very easily.
attribute (optional) - use 'price' to get real time currency exchange rates (with a short delay up to 20 minutes). startdate, enddate (optional) - your period of interest. Use the DATE function in these arguments. interval (optional) - how often you wish to pull the data. Hi,Thank you for sharing this useful formula.I have some trouble to use it, and I would like to know if there is a solution to my problem.On my google sheet, I have a column for our delivery dates.

It's not daily nor monthly, it depends on our customers.I would like to have the currency exchange rate on a 2nd column, using dates from the first one, and extend the function so when we put a new date, the currency exchange rate appear automatically.For the moment I have two problems:- When I use the formula to refer to a specific date (using the cell instead of the date), the result takes 4 cells because it creates the table date/close that we can see on your examples. So I can't extend the formula to have a column of rates corresponding to the column of dates.- If I use the formula by indicating the column of dates, it creates a table date/close with daily results from the oldest date to the newest (dates are not in order in our column, depending on when we bill the customer), it means that if I have two order separated by 10 days, I will have a date/close table with 10 lines.I spent two hours trying to 'play' with the formula, but perhaps you can avoid me a headache!Best regards,Eric.
Currency Conversion / Exchange Rates in Access, Excel and VBA (using Yahoo Finance) Posted: June 27, 2014 Author: Filed under:Tags:, Ok, so this isn’t official, but here is how to do currency conversion in Excel, Access and VBA in general, using YAHOO finance. Get the current exchange rate for USD/GBP etc.It’s a function that interrogates Yahoo finance services currency conversion system and returns the conversion rate.I’ve not read their terms and conditions or whatever, but I suspect that using this function is not permitted. So, my recommendation is not to use this function under any circumstances what so ever!!!But if you do use this function, and it means that you are doing good for people or helping someone, and generally making the world a better place. Then please consider this old ethnic proverb about the lion and the monkey:“A monkey was protective over his banana’s, he would not share them with any of the other monkeys. Eventually, all the other monkeys died of starvation. The lion needed something to eat, the monkey said “have one of my banana’s, I have plenty!”.
