Currency issue

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A
1

We trade across various African Countries and have a list of Quotes and Orders in the App that reflect prices of items quoted in either Rands, USD or Euro dependant on the Country we are trading with at the time.

I would like to use varying currencies based on Country Name in Column entry.

How would I achieve this?

Dear valuable members and users, For a long time I’m seeing a lot of multiple and concurrent posts, posts like novels seeming to aim the Pulitzer Price, exactly the same questions by the same user but paraphrased/re-phrased etc. Being a dedicated community member and an AppSheet developer who is reading around 2.5K posts per day, I urged myself to tip on some good advice and best practice BEFORE posting something in the community: #1 - APPSHEET DOCUMENTATION AppSheet has a very good help do…

To answer your question

  • Inside the column settings for a “Price” column, there’s a place where you can specify the currency symbol to use.

You’ll find, however, that it’s a static thing - specific to each Price column.

  • If you wanted to show things in different currencies, you’ll need to include a separate field for each one.
