Need help dealing with multiple currency and converting them

[ifenek]

Hello, 

I can't get my head around on how to do this so i'm coming here for help. 

I have a column homenett holding all my values. The problem they come from differente databases and therefore different currency. I also have a column CurrencyID holding all my currency used. 

I want the user to choose the currency in which the report gonna show itself. 

I've build up a table with all the exchange rate my company is using as base being GBP. So far i've tried few things but no real success.

I thought doing something like converting first everything in Gpb and then creating mesures to put in whatever is selected in the slicer?

@parry2k Thank you. 

I've attached a sample file with what i described on the first post

Hi @ifenek 

I think your currid: CAN in VW_Currency Table should be CAD, or we can't find CAD in VW_Currency Table.

You can achieve your goal by measure.

Measure:

Measure = 
VAR _SelectID =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( VW_Currency[currid] )
VAR _PerRate =
    SUMX (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( VW_Currency ),
            VW_Currency[currid] = MAX ( VW_Orders[CurrencyID] )
        ),
        VW_Currency[currate]
    )
VAR _SelRate =
    SUMX (
        FILTER ( ALL ( VW_Currency ), VW_Currency[currid] = _SelectID ),
        VW_Currency[currate]
    )
VAR _GBPhomenett =
    DIVIDE ( SUM ( VW_Orders[homenett] ), _PerRate )
VAR _Selhomenett =
    DIVIDE ( SUM ( VW_Orders[homenett] ), _PerRate ) * _SelRate
RETURN
    IF ( ISFILTERED ( VW_Currency[curdesc] ), _Selhomenett, _GBPhomenett )

M.homenett = SUMX(VW_Orders,[Measure])

Build a measure to show the currency format.

Currency = 
IF(ISFILTERED(VW_Currency[curdesc]),SELECTEDVALUE(VW_Currency[curdesc]),"GBP")

Result is as below.

By default if the slicer is unfiltered, it will show homenett in GBP.

Select USD.
