    CONVERT_OOO

    Category:

    Summary:

    Converts to euros a currency value expressed in one of the legacy currencies of 19 member states of the Eurozone, and vice versa. The conversion uses the fixed exchange rates at which the legacy currencies entered the euro.

    Note:
    We recommend using the more flexible EUROCONVERT function for converting between these currencies. For converting between many different units of measurement, use the CONVERT function.

    CONVERT_OOO is not a standardized function and is not portable.

    Syntax:

    CONVERT_OOO(Value; Text1; Text2)

    Returns:

    Returns a real number which is the converted value expressed in the currency specified by the argument Text2.

    Arguments:

    Value is a real number, or a reference to a cell containing that number, that is the amount to be converted (expressed in the currency specified by the argument Text1).

    Text1 is a text string, or a reference to a cell containing a text string, that specifies the currency to be converted from. One of 20 possible case-sensitive strings – "ATS", "BEF", "CYP", "DEM", "EEK", "ESP", "EUR", "FIM", "FRF", "GRD", "IEP", "ITL", "LTL", "LUF", "LVL", "MTL", "NLG", "PTE", "SIT", and "SKK".

    Text2 is a text string, or a reference to a cell containing a text string, that specifies the currency to be converted from. One of 20 possible case-sensitive strings, as listed for Text1.

    • If Value is non-numeric, then CONVERT_OOO reports a #VALUE! error.
    • If either of Text1 or Text2 is not one of the expected strings specifying a valid currency, then CONVERT_OOO reports a #N/A error.
    • One, and only one, of Text1 and Text2 should specify the euro. Therefore, if neither or both are equal to "EUR", then CONVERT_OOO reports a #N/A error.
