National Currency to National Currency Conversion

How does Euro Assistant Pro exactly calculate a national currency to national currency conversion?

Let's suppose the Euro Assistant Pro window lists two national currencies (i.e. EMU national currencies or non-EMU currencies). The active display contains the amount you want to convert.

After you press Return or Enter, Euro Assistant Pro:

- rounds the input value according to the current rounding amount for the input currency
- divides the obtained value by the input currency's euro conversion or exchange rate
- multiplies the obtained value by the output currency's euro conversion or exchange rate
- rounds the obtained value according to the current rounding amount for the output currency
- writes the result in the ouput currency's display

When you convert a national currency to another national currency (e.g. DEM to BEF) Euro Assistant Pro effectively performs a double conversion (triangulation): from the input national currency to Euro (e.g. from DEM to EUR) and from Euro to the output national currency (e.g. from EUR to BEF).

The triangulation has always sense when the two national currencies are EMU currencies or when one of them is an EMU currency, because euro conversion rates are fixed.

The triangulation's result is on the contrary just indicative when both currencies are non-EMU currencies and their euro exchange rates refer to different moments.
