Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How can I convert different local currencies from European Amazon marketplaces (like Pounds, Liras, and Crowns) to Euro in Looker Studio reports?

To convert multiple local currencies to Euro in Looker Studio, you’ll need to blend tables with the appropriate exchange rates. First, convert all currencies to USD by dividing each value by the local exchange rate using the refdata_currency_exchange_rate table. Once you have the values in USD, add another exchange rate table to convert USD to Euro. This way, you’ll ensure consistency and accuracy in your report totals.
