“Sommerzeit ist Reisezeit! Die Koffer sind schon gepackt. Da die Fahrt auch in Länder führt, die nicht zur Euro-Zone gehören, lege ich mir in Excel eine Umrechnungstabelle an, die nach Eingabe eines Eurobetrags sofort in jede Nicht-Euro-Währung umrechnet. Damit auch das richtige Währungskürzel zum ausgesuchten Land angezeigt wird, bemühe ich zusätzlich noch die Bedingte Formatierung.” …To Read More Click Here to go to Frank Arend-Theilen’s Lesson.
