Importing exchange rates from the website of the Central Bank of Canada

NBCA() Description

The NBCA() function is designed for automatically getting the official exchange rate of the Canadian dollar directly from the Central Bank of Canada website (bankofcanada.ca) for a specified code and date.

The NBCA function greatly simplifies working with exchange rates, especially for those who work with finances or keep records in different currencies. Instead of manually entering rates, you just need to use this function to get up-to-date data.

You can also use the "Official exchange rates" tool, which inserts the exchange rate for selected cells in one click.
