    We are all always learning;  
    if you just open Advanced editor  then you can replace your code with mine - remember to add in the key. 
    Get Data --> From Web -- Click on Advanced

    Another option to get data for multiple dates would be to use the timeseries mentioned in the documentation but this looks like it is dependent on the subscription you have. 

     

     

    Regarding getting data for different dates, as mentioned by amitchandak  Chris Webbs cross join blog will help.

if you check the documentation page on the exchangeratesapi website, they advise how to set different base currencies 
EURO is the default. 

 

this should do what you need
