Import currency rates from the ECB website

NBEU() Description

The NBEU() function is designed for automatic retrieval of 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 work with currency rates, especially for those who work with finance or keep records in different currencies. Instead of manually entering rates, you just need to use this function to get up-to-date data.

Also, you can use the "Official currency exchange rates" tool, which inserts the currency rate for selected cells in one click.
