Automated currency symbols
Hi All, I wondered if anyone has any ideas for me. I've created a spreadsheet for one of our sales guys to prove how quickly our product will pay for itself. I've included a box where the user enters the current conversion rate of £pounds to $dollars, €uros, ¥en etc. which automatically updates the prices for all the products. However, I'm looking for a way to it to display the correct currency symbol as well as the correct prices. I've experimented with creating a drop-down list with the relevant countries and it populates the previous cells before the figures with the correct currency symbol (using IF) but this isn't really cutting the mustard as I need to display alternative symbols for about fifteen different currencies. Would anyone know the best way to go about this? I'd greatly appreciate any hints or suggestions anyone might have to offer!

Automated currency symbols
Well if you used a vlookup instead of an if statement you could get to as many countries as you wanted, All you need is a list of countries with their currency symbol in the next column then something of the form Vlookup(country, Country list, 2,false) eg Vlookup(a1, a10:b:100,2,false) You could also look and concatinating the cells for the results, but this then depends if you need to do calculations on the result Regards Dav -- Dav ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dav's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27107 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=545819 |

The Choose(Index,Val1,Val2,Val3...,Val29) is also a great tool, but
Limited to 29 values; It's very simple. Check it out HTH "usiku" wrote in message : Hi All, I wondered if anyone has any ideas for me.
