CurrencyConvert
CurrencyConvert[quantity,target]
attempts to convert the specified currency quantity to the specified target currency.
CurrencyConvert[quantity,target,date]
converts to the target currency for the historical date specification.
Details
- The target can be a canonical unit or a Quantity expression.
- When target is a Quantity, the resulting output will have the same unit as target.
- An internet connection is required for conversion between currency units.
- CurrencyConvert uses exchange rate information provided by FinancialData for conversion between currency units.
- CurrencyConvert uses InflationAdjust for historical currency conversions involving DatedUnit.
- When no exchange rate information is available, a String representing the exchange ratio is returned instead.
- Date specifications may include a DateObject, DateList, DateString or AbsoluteTime specification.
- The date specification may also be a range of {start,end} or All, where results are a TimeSeries object.
