Re:- Translate AUD & GBP currency into USD

[shantanu97]

I have a data in which sales data have a value column, also have a base currency value column in which it mentions which currency it is (AUD,GBP,USD). Want to make one column where it converted AUD & GBP to USD. 

One more dataset is given - exchange rate where every required date have currency exchange from AUD,GBP to USD.

Can anyone help me to convert column into USD. I am facing problem in writing DAX column query. I am new to Power BI.

Excel and .pbix file : All Required File found here 

Sales Data

Try below DAX in a calculated column.

Currency Conversion to USD = 
VAR __baseCurrency = 'Sales Data'[BaseCurrency]
VAR __audTousdRate =
    LOOKUPVALUE (
        'Exchange Rates'[Rate to AUD/USD],
        'Exchange Rates'[Date (GMT)], 'Sales Data'[Date]
    )
VAR __gbpTousdRate =
    LOOKUPVALUE (
        'Exchange Rates'[Rate to GBP/USD],
        'Exchange Rates'[Date (GMT)], 'Sales Data'[Date]
    )
VAR __result =
    SWITCH (
        __baseCurrency,
        "GBP", 'Sales Data'[Value] * __gbpTousdRate,
        "AUD", 'Sales Data'[Value] * __audTousdRate,
        'Sales Data'[Value]
    )
RETURN
    __result
