There are certain function available in Google Spreadsheets to interact with other Google services such as Finance. To get the realtime exchange rate between currencies and set up conversion you could follow these steps:

  • Get the exchange rate between currencies in a cell, or use it directly in a formula using the function: GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:EURUSD"). The format is GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:<from-currency><to-currency>")
  • Use it in a formula: =C4*GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:EURUSD")
