Setting a base currency and exchange rates
Before you can make currency conversions, you need to choose a base currency (usually
your domestic currency) and add exchange rates.
Note: The rate of the base currency is always 1. The base currency determines the
conversion rates of the other currencies.
Example: If you set
the Euro (EUR) as the base
currency, a United
Kingdom Pound (GBP) is
approximately 1.63575
EUR. Thus, you would
write 1.63575 as the
exchange rate for the GBP.
