Setting a base currency and exchange
rates
Before you can make currency conversions, you need to
choose a base currency and add exchange rates.
Note: The rate of the base currency is always 1. The
base currency determines the conversion rates of the
other currencies.
1 Select Currency as the measure type and select
Options→ Currency rates. A list of currencies opens and
you can see the current base currency at the top.
2 To change the base currency, scroll to the currency,
and select Options→ Set as base curr..
Note: When you change the base currency, all
previously set exchange rates are set to 0 and you
need to key in new rates.
3 Add exchange rates (see example), scroll to the
currency, and key in a new rate, that is, how many
units of the currency equal one unit of the base
currency you have selected.
4 After you have inserted all the needed exchange rates,
you can make currency conversions, see ‘Converting
units’, p. 101.
Example: If you set the Euro (EUR) as the base
currency, a United Kingdom Pound (GBP) is approx.
1.63575 EUR. Thus, you would write 1.63575 as the
exchange rate for the GBP.
