So in our lookup table, the second column has the exchange rate. Lookup FormulaĪnd the exchange rate comes from a lookup formula that checks the country we selected, and goes to the country lookup, and finds the value in the second column. On the price list, we show the US cost and then the adjusted cost, which is multiplied by the exchange rate.
And we've got other countries in that list as well. If we sell in the UK, the exchange rate is 0.678108, and that would be in pounds. There's no increase or decrease in the cost. So we have a list of countries, and we can see that And if we sell in other countries, we apply an exchange rate to the price. When we sell in the USA, we show the cost and the total cost in dollars. In this workbook, we sell products in the USA and in other countries. The pricing and currency symbol for the selected country will be displayed.

In the order form, a VLOOKUP formula, in column D, finds the adjusted cost for the product name in column B. The adjusted costs will be shown on the Orders sheet In column D, the adjusted cost is calculated, based on the selected country's exchange rate. The cells with the product details are in a named range - PriceLU. On the sheet named Prices, there is a price list with product names and the USA cost. In column G on the Countries sheet, VLOOKUP formulas find the exchange rate and currency for the selected country.Ĭell G1 is named ExchRate, and has this formula:Ĭell G2 is named CurrSel, and has this formula: The cells with the details are in a named range - CountryLU.
