When you execute a drilldown report online, you can translate individual currency columns to a different currency using the function Settings -> Currency. In this step, you can maintain currency translation keys to be used for this translation. You define these translation keys by controlling area.

Activities
- Define your translation keys by specifying the following:
- a text
- the exchange rate type (such as "average rate")
- the currency you want to translate the values into
- Specify whether the rate is an inverse exchange rate.
Inverse exchange rates are useful where the values have already been translated and you want to translate them back into the original currency with the original values.
- Specify whether the translation key should use a fixed or variable translation date.
A fixed translation date is either a specific date or the date on which the report is executed. This date, together with the exchange rate type, determines which exchange rate is used later for the translation.
If the translation date is variable, the system determines the time reference in each data record and translates the values according to that information. Here you specify the point of time - start of the period or year end - that should be used. This allows you to translate each data record according to the exchange rate valid in the period in which it was posted.
If you use a variable translation date, note that columns in the list that are calculated using the translated column are automatically translated as well.
- Save your currency translation keys.
Example of a currency translation key with an inverse exchange rate
Assume the following exchange rates:
DEM USD 1.60
USD DEM 0.63
When translating from USD to DEM with an inverse rate, the system uses the exchange rate 1/1.60 = 0.625 and not 0.63.
