Set a base currency and exchange rates
Before you can make currency conversions, you need to choose a base
currency (usually your domestic currency) and add exchange rates.
Note:
The rate of the base currency is always 1. The base currency
determines the conversion rates of the other currencies.
Example:
If you set the United States Dollar (USD) as the base currency, a
Euro is 1.00. Thus, you would write 1.00 as the exchange rate for the Euro.
