I need a formula that looks in Cell A and if it is a Euro amount, then the formula that calculates in Cell B multiplies times the exchange rate that I set then adds some other figures. If the formula in Cell A is a USD amount, then the formula that calculates in Cell B does not multiply by the exchange rate but does continue to add in the other figures. Can someone help with this?

Hello,

How do you differentiate the currency type? Is there a cell next to it that states the currency type? Or are you just trying to evaluate this based on the formatting of the cell? Or are the currency symbols physically in the cells (if you click the cell, does the formula bar show the symbol?)

I designate the currency type with Formatting of cells with the category Currency and the currency symbol $. If there is another way I should designate it to be able to create a formula that works, please let me know.

Well, if you have a cell next to it say like "USD" or "EUR" (or the symbols), you could use a simple IF() statement. In order for it to look at the formatting (if that is possible) it would probably have to be done with a macro. (I'm not sure how to write one like that so someone else may be able to help you if that's what you want to try.)
