Examples for C_PROST Euro Conversion Functions in MS Excel and MS Access

·         DEM_EUR      Conversion of DEM-Amount into EUR-Amount, result as a number

·         DEM_EUR_S      Conversion of DEM-Amount into EUR-Amount, result as a string

Comfortable Conversion Support with Control Key Combinations

With a control key combination „Ctrl+<letter>“ the content of a single cell or of each cell in a large marked cell area can be framed with a currency conversion function. This means the existing cell content is used as parameter for the currency conversion function.

Ctrl + e :   =DEM_EUR(<cell content>)

            Ctrl + d :   =EUR_DEM(<cell content>)

Many other control key combinations for further
 currency conversion functions and services are available.

Examples:

 -117,98        è                      =DEM_EUR(-117,98)

=SUM(A17:A30)      è       =DEM_EUR(SUM(A17:A30))

=B9+D7      è                      =DEM_EUR(B9+D7)

The conversion functions DEM_EUR, EUR_DEM, etc. are examples for simplified conversion functions which call internally the C_PROST standard conversion functions VB_U1 to VB_U4 with setting some of their parameters to fixed values. Each user can easily implement such private conversion functions for the purposes he needs, e.g. NLG_EUR, EUR_GBP, USD_DEM, etc.

The Euro conversion functions are available as Excel and Access function calls. You can execute a currency conversion function by calling the wanted function in an Excel cell or by calling the function in an Excel or Access VBA macro statement.

Example in an Excel cell:

=DEM_EUR(199,98)
            or         =DEM_EUR(C10)    
C10 = cell reference

Example as VBA function call:

Function RoundDiff(DEM_Amount As Double) As Double

' Calculate the difference with conversions
 DEM --> EUR --> DEM

    Dim EUR_Amount_D As Double

    Dim DEM_Amount_D As Double

    Dim DEM_Amount_S As String

    Dim EUR_Amount_S As String

    DEM_Amount_S = Str(DEM_Amount)

    EUR_Amount_D = DEM_EUR(DEM_Amount_S)

    EUR_Amount_S = Str(EUR_Amount_D)

    DEM_Amount_D = EUR_DEM(EUR_Amount_S)

    RoundDiff = DEM_Amount_D - DEM_Amount

End Function
