Hello,
I think I've overcomplicated what I'm trying to do and confused myself so any help would be very welcome.
The organisation runs many projects in various currencies and we sometimes get issues with the project team using the wrong FX rate or using the right rate but the wrong way around. I'm trying to make it simpler for them by having the FX rate auto-populate into the cost logs of the projects.
I have the FX table:
And the project cost log;
And what I want is to have the formula look for the date, transaction currency and grant currency and if it finds them then return the FX rate into the Exchange Rate cell in the cost log to be used in the calculation of the 'Total in Grant Currency'
Is this possible, do I need to change things, or do I need a different way of working this out?
Thanks so much for any guidance
