Dynamic currency exchange based on currency selected by the user

Hi,

 

I am trying to build a dashboard where the user would choose the currency for the sales from a slicer. Based on this selection, the base amount of the invoices expressed in SEK would get converted to their specified currency using the corresponding conversion rates (by year and currency).

 

If the end user would choose EUR from the slicer, in 2022 the amount should be  1500 SEK * 0.6744 = 1,011.6 EUR  and so on. How can I achive it?

Desired outcome:

2019809.28
20201686
20211449.96
20221011.6

@Zosy , this can be done by creating these two measures:

 

Total Amount (SEK) = SUM('Invoices'[Amount (SEK)])
Total Sales (in selected currency) = 
    SUMX(
        VALUES('Invoices'[Date].[Year]),
        VAR vExchangeRate = 
            LOOKUPVALUE(
                'CurrencyRates'[exchangerate],
                CurrencyRates[currency_code], SELECTEDVALUE('CurrencyRates'[currency_code]),
                CurrencyRates[year], 'Invoices'[Date].[YEAR]
            )
        RETURN
            [Total Amount (SEK)] * vExchangeRate
    )

 

This gives me these results:

Thank you for your help! This worked easily with my data set.

Hi @Zosy 

best and easiest method is to create a date table that contains the date and the year. Connect the date with the invoiced table and connect the year with currency exchange table. Then you measure would be

SUM ( Invoices[Amount (SEK)] ) * SELECTEVALUE ( 'Currency Rates'[exchangerate] )
