MULTI-CURRENCY CONVERTER

If you need to generate the report in a specific currency, follow these steps:

• Choose the report currency (e.g., "EUR").
  
  Decide how to get exchange rates:
  • Use Latest Rates: The report uses the latest available exchange rate.
  • Use Custom Rates: Set your own exchange rates for a specific date or create a separate tab with multiple custom rates.
  • Use Custom Rates for Periods: Set custom rates for specific periods in the same way.

Using Latest Rates: If you select "Use Latest Rates" and click "Execute," the report uses the latest exchange rate from the provider each time you refresh the report.

Using Custom Rates: Choose "Use Custom Rates," specify a date, and decide whether to get rates directly or create a separate tab with custom rates. This feature lets you manually adjust exchange rates for the report.

Using Custom Rates for Periods: Select "Use Custom Rates for Periods" and set custom rates for specific periods. You can use the exchange rate screen or create a separate tab for this purpose.

Finally, click "Execute" to generate the report in your chosen currency, and it will appear in your Google Sheet.
