Hello LibreOffice fans...

I'm looking for some help with calc on a spreadsheet that I have set up. I'm
not sure if it needs a macro set up, or if there's something in LibreOffice
that will do this for me, or if I have to seek custom development to do
this....

Here's the problem:

- I have a large risk management spreadsheet that contains a number of cells
with currency based risk numbers in it; some of these are manually entered
by the user and some are calculated from cells where the user enters the
information.
- Currently, the financial risk cells are all in USD ($) currency.
- If I have a user in another country that wants to use this spreadsheet,
I'd like that person to be able to either press a button, or select from a
drop-down list, a list of available currencies to choose from.
- When they choose their currently, I want a macro (or something!) to go and
find all the US currency based cells in the spreadsheet and change them to
the currency selected by the user.
- If I can get this to work, then this spreadsheet could pretty much be used
in any country/currency and the user would not have to go into every single
currency based cell and make the changes needed (which would be time
prohibitive).
- i.e. Looking for a minimum click solution to achieve this. I do realize
that the local install will change the currency for the user by default, but
I want to be able to over-ride this so that if a local user sees the
spreadsheet in USD and changes it to, for example, GBP, then when he sends
it back to me, I see the numbers in GBP and not my local language setting
(which would default back to USD).

I hope I have explained this clearly!   If not please don't hesitate to
ask...

Has anyone done this before or have any ideas how to achieve what I am
looking for?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Geoff
