Something wrong??
thank you so much…

I haven’t used multiple curancies so can’t help with that part but when showing your Pinter template - after paying it in select it and click the < / > button on the toolbar as the forum will strip some of the code.
Sometimes the stripped code won’t matter in identifying the problem but often it will and best thing to do.

Although I haven’t use curancies your conversion formula is different from the one in emres comment.
He uses TN and has different layout.

Your expression is wrong. Look at the one Emre showed then look at yours. Spot the difference?

Yes I try both combination, first the Emre expression and after the expression suggest by slabos in the same post.
But nothing change.
No error, no crash but the ticket remain with one total in Pesos.

Thanks for suggestion JRTech, i try to paste the code with < / > button:

its a button…

Highlight the template and press that button. Do not type anything at start and end.

PS: i fixed it for you.

@Alessandro slabos didn’t suggested it. He said it is not working… So not working for you too.

Try this one.

[=F(TN('{PAYMENT AMOUNT}')/TN('{EXCHANGE RATE:USD}'),'#,##0.##')]

Of course you should change USD part with your currency name.

So first try displaying Exchange rate on ticket with {EXCHANGE RATE:<currency>} tag. When it displays fine add expression that calculates USD amount.

Y try to pt in the code only the Exchange rate tag but nothing change Emre.

Need I to restart sambapos, close and re-open work period, or open new ticket after change template ticket?
I ask this to avoid some stupid error… :slight_smile:

You’ve configured something wrong.

That’s all I can say for that feedback. Maybe you can give more details about how you’ve configured currencies, final template that is not working etc… so we can have more idea about what might be wrong.

The printer configuration as Demo Printer can be a problem??

Playnig around finally I solve…

Maybe it’s not an elegant solution but work perfectly for me. this is the code:

:slight_smile: What was the preferred solution you’re trying to achieve? I think I missed something here.

No Emre, I think the problem here it’s my poor actitude with english language…hahahahha…

in any case this is the result I’ve reach and it’s exactly what I need… :wink:
