Using google to convert currency

[chr1shardcastle]

Hi,

I've been messing around with trying to set up a way of converting currency on the fly by sourcing data from a web viewer.

I've got it working in a test file but for some reason there's a lag in the info updating (you need to choose the currency multiple times) and I was wondering if someone would mind taking a quick look at it for me? I think it's something to do with storage but I've got myself in a bit of a knot!

There are 2 methods I'm trying in the attached file. One is a simple relationship based on manually entering a conversion rate and the other is the above. This is the one I'm having (slight) issues with.

What I'm doing is using a web viewer to get a conversion out of google, grabbing the relevant number and then passing that to cell. There are a few other things happening which I hope are fairly self expiatory for an experienced user (I'm not one of those).

I'd be really grateful if somebody could pass on any gems of advice or let me know if this is a silly way to be trying this.

Thanks,

Chris
