- Thanks for that.
Is products we sell and are 2k in total all priced in USD.
Had formula before but lost it, know when 1st one done you can highlight cell and put cursor in bottom right and corner and drag all way down the columns required.
Do you mean convert to the current currency rate? like you have 1$ in the cell and you want it to show .70 £
or do you mean to change the symbol? from $ to £
let me know,
Chester

- Well I am not a super expert, but if it were my problem, I would put all of the numbers for the US dollars in one row say for instance B or XX and then for where I wanted to put the pounds I would type a formula into the cell... if D was the row for the pounds and B was the row for the dollars I would write;
=(B1*.51)
=(what this cell will equal), () to initiate a formula, B1 (being the cell of the number you want to use, in your case the US dollar), * (means multiply), .51(todays conversion rate)
with .51 being the current conversion rate. There are also ways to hide rows in Excel if you didnt want to show the dollars at all.
Additionally the above formula can be simply copied and pasted for each column, so you don't have to type: =(B2*.51), =(B3*.51)
If you are confused by this formula or still need help let me know.
