<p class="Paragraph">The result you obtain will be the number of Euros for 100 US dollars. The sum to be converted is always stated first within the parentheses. It can be entered directly, as here, or as a reference. If the amount is, for example, in cell D2, you can enter D2 in the formula as the first part of the function. The other parts of the function name the unit of the amount and the unit into which it is to be converted. All three parts of the function are separated from each other by semicolons.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Using the formula =CONVERT(50;"EUR";"USD") you will obtain the number of US dollars for 50 Euros.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">If in column D, from D2 to D20 you have a number of USD sums and in column E from E2 to E20 you want the same sums in Euros, proceed as follows:</p>
<ol class="L1">
<li class="">
<p style="">Click in cell E2.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p style="">Enter the following: =CONVERT(</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p style="">Click in cell D2. D2 is now defined as the first part of the function. The cursor remains at D2 in the formula.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p style="">Enter the following text: ;"USD";"EUR"</p>
<p style="">(enter the text with both semicolons and the quotation marks) and press the Enter key.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p style="">This completes the entire formula which now reads =CONVERT(D2;"USD";"EUR"). Cell E2 now contains the result of the calculation.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p style="">Click cell E2, then the small filled square in the bottom right hand corner of cell E2 and, pressing the mouse button, drag down to cell E20. Release the mouse button there.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p style="">You have now copied the formula from E2 to E20. The references have been automatically adapted so that they always refer to the neighboring cell on the left.</p>
