Yes, I have a USD account where I did as you suggested. And there are
(not so little) shadow transactions generated to pull the balance down
to the correct number in EUR.
This is using addition and subtraction
to get the account balance to read in EUR;
-------------------------------
I don't think I am expecting a miracle though. Just a multiplication
between numbers that are already in the system:
The transactions are in EUR and are dated.
The conversion factor (exchange rate) is in the system and
is set up to cover date ranges.
The popup on the Balance Sheet request form is asking which
currency you would like to have the form displayed in.
(This is the only possible use for this popup item)
And then - the report is generated in EUR.
And - there is no indication on the report (label) that
the report had been requested in USD.
Why have the popup in the Balance Sheet request form
if not to generate the form in that currency?
Best regards
