Currency conversion

Hello community,

 

I'm a new Power BI user and would greatly appreciate your help regarding setback I encountered.

 

I'm building a quite simple dashboard consisting of yearly data (year end, for 5 years) for 100 products. I would like to see a single product's data (revenue, yearly logistics cost ect) throughout the years. I'm using slicer to enable selection of single product. Given that this is a pretty straightforward exercise, it was fairly simple to build this. The difficult part refers to the fact that I would like to see (by using another slicer) the same data by product in two additional currencies. So when I click on EURO for example all the charts which were in USD convert to EUR. Also the fact that exchange rate is different at the end of each year does not help 🙂 

 

Thank you very much in advance for any suggestion.

Hi @KougaGennosuke ,

 

According to your description, you can refer to the following companies. Create three separate measures corresponding to REVENUES, LOGISTICS COST, and TAX PAID fields. Depending on the choice of currency in the slicer, the corresponding column visual is dynamically displayed.

M_REVENUES =
SWITCH (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'FX table'[Currency] ),
    "USD",
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[REVENUES (EUR)] ),
            ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Product name], 'Table'[DATE] )
        ),
    "GBP",
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[REVENUES (EUR)] ),
            ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Product name], 'Table'[DATE] )
        )
)

@KougaGennosuke it should have 3 columns:

 

Date, Currency, FX Rate

 

Date is the date of FX Rate

Currency what currency it is EUR -> USD, EUR -> GBP

FX Rate -. Converion Rate 

 

So if you have 2 other currencies you want to see data in, and if we take one day as an example, you will have two record in this table

 

Jan 1/USD/0.90

Jan 1/EBP/1.10

 

I hope this helps

I created a sample FX table:

And made a connection between dates:

Would you be so kind to suggest DAX formula (or some other method) how I can make sure conversion takes place on the visuals?

Sorry for very basic questions and thank you very much for the help 🙂

@KougaGennosuke this is good, but what is your currency table look like? Do you have an FX rate for each transaction date?

I should create currency table, but what I am struggling with is the format ie what to put in rows and columns. I know the applicable exchange rates on relevant dates.

Sure.

 

This is a simplified data set, for 3 products for 3 years I have the following revenues/cost:

 

Product codeProduct nameREVENUES (EUR)Logistics cost (EUR)TAX paid (EUR)DATE
9874ABC3,345,439218,42363,21112/31/2018
1003XYZ6,2481,34912112/31/2018
1007OPQ71,4013,22435112/31/2018
9874ABC6,2529065512/31/2019
1003XYZ47,2521,72034812/31/2019

9874ABC552,57824,1682,84312/31/2020
1003XYZ853301812/31/2020
1007OPQ489,96415,1281,91512/31/2020

these are very basic charts i have created to show yearly data for each product separately in EUR (data curency):

 

KougaGennosuke_0-1642870390047.png

 

I would like to have another slicer where I can chose between EUR and USD and if I coose USD the very same graphs for one selected product is showing, just in USD.

 

I hope this clarifies the question 🙂
