I have a CAD/USD portfolio. In the "Daily" tab, the chart "Daily Currency Exchage Rate", display the CAD/USD value (currently 1.28xxxx). I would like to display the USD/CAD value (currently 0.77xxxx). Is this currently possible with 2.3, how ?
In the Daily worksheet if you go to the right far enough (column AI5), you will see Pivot Table that is used to build this report. There is a filter for CurrencyID = 2 - that is probably USD currency and CurrencyID = 1 probably your CAD currency). If you have Excel 2010 or Excel 2013/2016 with full PowerPivot support (you see PowerPivot menu) then you can easily edit measure "Exch Rate to Primary" - I believe it is used just in this report. So you could change formula from:
I modified the formula as instructed but then the graph simply disappeared along with the value in column AI5. Do i need to modify psConfig.txt or similar to get USD/CAD instead of CAD/USD ?
YOu should already have CAD->USD and USD-CAD rates - you could double check in the file.
You should also change filter for that report from "CurrencyID : 2" to "CurrencyID: 1"

So you could change formula from: to formula And then in the Pivot Table I talked about above you would change filter condition to CurrencyID = 1.
What version of Excel do you have and do you have PowerPivot full support?
PowerPIvot->Measures->Manage Measures-> Select "Exch Rate Impact"-> Edit. In the formula bar enter formula from above.
Refresh and you are done.
