Import currency rates from ECB website

NBEU() Description

The NBEU() function is designed for automatically retrieving the official euro exchange rate directly from the website of the European Central Bank (ecb.eu) by the specified code and date.

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

Also, you can use the "Official Exchange Rates" tool, which inserts the currency rate for selected cells with one click.
