Conditional currency
You could create a rule for each currency. The cell values themselves should be just numbers; the number format will determine how they are displayed.
Select the range in column B that you want to format. I will assume that B11 is the active cell in the selection.
- On the Home tab of the ribbon. select Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
- Select 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format'.
- Enter the formula =$A11="SEK"
- Click the Format... button.
- Activate the Number tab.
- Select Custom in the list of categories.
- Enter #.##0,00 "SEK" in the Type box.
- Click OK, then click OK again.
Repeat these steps for each currency, for example with the formula =$A11="EUR" and the number format #.###,00 "EUR"
Hello!
Sorry for bad cropping, but you were correct in your assumption, first row with numbers is 11. I want the end result to look as it looks now, and I want to be able copy B11 to B14 and get 100,00 EUR (as dictated by cell formula, not seen here) in the target cell. Any conversion has already been carried out, and it is purely formatting which I want to ascertain.

- Took a little while to get in order, but worked when I got the hang of it!
Thanks!
