Currency Conversion Google Sheets & Excel Spreadsheet Add-on

This Foreign Exchange Currency Conversion utility uses rates published by the European Central Bank and available through the Foreign Exchange Rates API. This Currency Conversion spreadsheet integration for Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel enables you to convert currencies as well as list currency rates. This add-on will enable you to integrate on-demand, refreshable currency conversion without leaving your spreadsheet.

For example, with this Excel and Google Sheets add-on you can:

  • Convert a currency amount to another currency, at current rate or rate based on a historic date.
  • List foreign exchange rates for a basket of different currencies, at the current rates or based on a historic date.

Here are some examples:

=FLEX("YOUR_TEAM_NAME/currency-converter", 100, "EUR", "USD", "2018-12-31")
114.5
=FLEX("YOUR_TEAM_NAME/currency-rates", "EUR", "2018-12-31")

If you prefer, you can also install these using the Flex.io Currency Integration.
