Dynamic currency conversion help

Puja — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 02:40:55 GMT

Hello Experts,
I need some help with Dynamic currency conversion.

Here is my request
I have a Fact table with three dates with three amounts(below screenshot). When the user selects a currency code, these measures should be filtered by those dates with conversion rates.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

This is Exchange reate table .

Sample data

Try

Invoiced net sales converted = VAR SelectedCurrency = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Exch rate'[Currency] ) RETURN IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( SelectedCurrency ), SUMX ( 'Table', VAR ReferenceDate = 'Table'[Invoice date] VAR ReferenceAmount = 'Table'[Invoiced net sales] VAR ExchRate = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Exch rate'[_EXCH_RATE] ), 'Exch rate'[Currency] = SelectedCurrency, 'Exch rate'[_FROM_DT] <= ReferenceDate && 'Exch rate'[_TO_DT] >= ReferenceDate ) RETURN ExchRate * ReferenceAmount ) )

Hi johnt75 ,

Thanks for the solution.

I tested your solution and it looks like its only reading data on 1st of each month.

In exchange table , I have ave rate by month.

Ex: date Exch AVE rate

6/1/2020 0.12

7/1/2020 0.09

8/1/2020 1.19

Example : 6/1/2020 Converting correctly.

6/2/2020 I see blank althought there is data.

Could you please help.

Thank you SO MUCH

try

Invoiced net sales converted = VAR SelectedCurrency = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Exch rate'[Currency] ) RETURN IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( SelectedCurrency ), SUMX ( 'Table', VAR ReferenceDate = 'Table'[Invoice date] VAR ReferenceAmount = 'Table'[Invoiced net sales] VAR ExchRate = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Exch rate'[_EXCH_RATE] ), 'Exch rate'[Currency] = SelectedCurrency, 'Exch rate'[Date] = DATE( YEAR( ReferenceDate), MONTH(ReferenceDate),1) ) RETURN ExchRate * ReferenceAmount ) )

johnt75 ,

This is working GREAT. Thank you SO MUCH.
I want to ask for some more help. How can I use this same measure with the USERELATIONSHIP function? I have two other dates looking at different amounts in the same fact table. I did try, but it's not working for me.

THANKS AGAIN 🙂

You'd need to change the columns in the ReferenceDate and ReferenceAmount columns. If you need to be able to chart it against the different dates you might wrap the whole thing inside CALCULATE( ..., USERELATIONSHIP('Table2'[Date],'Date'[Date]))

Hi johnt75

Yes, I created the way you discribed.

VAR ReferenceDate = CALCULATE(VALUES('FACT'[ DATE]), USERELATIONSHIP('DIMDATE'[CalendarDate], 'FACT'[DATE]))

Its not working.

Re: Dynamic currency conversion help

johnt75 — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 13:55:45 GMT

I meant something like

Using different date = CALCULATE ( VAR SelectedCurrency = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Exch rate'[Currency] ) RETURN IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( SelectedCurrency ), SUMX ( 'Table', VAR ReferenceDate = 'Table'[Date 2] VAR ReferenceAmount = 'Table'[Different amount] VAR ExchRate = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Exch rate'[_EXCH_RATE] ), 'Exch rate'[Currency] = SelectedCurrency, 'Exch rate'[Date] = DATE ( YEAR ( ReferenceDate ), MONTH ( ReferenceDate ), 1 ) ) RETURN ExchRate * ReferenceAmount ) ), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Date'[Date], 'Table'[Date 2] ) )
