Question on Currency Types

Good morning all! Quick question on something. I am creating a financial dashboard, encompassing how areas of a college and satellite campuses are budgeting their money. I also have a slicer on the dashboard for users to drill down between the name of the location they are a part of. All of the campuses are a part of the USA, and there are a few which are based in Canada. Is there a way to bring in the numbers for USD Generically, and then convert ones which are based in Canada as the Canadian Currency? I'm not sure if this would be a DAX Formula or not.

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
