PERSONAL FINANCE SPREADSHEET WITH REAL-TIME CURRENCY CONVERSION
« on: November 29, 2019, 02:17:30 AM »
This may have been addressed before but the forum suggested I open a new topic.

In my day-to-day personal budgeting and financing, I deal with dollars and euros. I would like to create a personal budgeting spreadsheet (preferably Excel but not absolutely necessary) that can convert these currencies in real-time. Any suggestions, tips (sample spreadsheet?) would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

A quick look at the internet gave this result:

I'm not sure what version of Excel you have but on Office 365 if you do the following
Data Tab
Get Data
From Other Sources
From the Web
Type in http://www.x-rates.com/    into the basic URL box
Click on Table 0
Load

This should have columns for the USD, GBP, EUR and AUD available. A right click on the table gives you a refresh option.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
