currency conversion

Hi everyone,

 

Can someone help me with a currency conversion

 

Marco Russo makes this article:

nice to see that the currency problem is solved with a summarize virtual table

 

Question 1..

In my situation we have a lot of different companys in the dataset. So its possible that i have salesmutations in EUR and AUD etc 

How can i make this work to convert it to a reporting currency

 

Question 2.

The Exchangetable have for each company a rate from Transaction Currency to Reporting Currency. But not for everyday, but only when the rate changes. 

example.. i need the last exchange rate that exist for a company and transaction / reporting currency 

 

Question 3.

When we make a summery table like the example from Marco Russo. How works the relation between the virtual table and the date table and company table? Is t

 

With kind regards.....

This is the formula that i uses:

Amount in report currency =

VAR report_valuta =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Reporting Currency'[Reporting Currency] )
VAR last_datum =
    LASTDATE ( Kalender[Date] )
VAR temp_Exchange =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ExchRates,
        ExchRates[Administratie],
        "temp_koers",
            MAXX (
                TOPN (
                    1,
                    FILTER (
                        ExchRates,
                        ExchRates[Date] <= last_datum
                            && ExchRates[Transaction Currency] = report_valuta
                    ),
                    ExchRates[Date], DESC
                ),
                ExchRates[Factor gedeeld]
            )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( 'Reporting Currency'[Reporting Currency] ),
        SUMX ( temp_Exchange, [temp_koers] * [Bedrag Native Currency totaal] )
    )
