Multiple currency within project server

Bill

Has anyone delt with multiple currency within project Professional or Server.
I need to display in a project view both US and Euro Dollars. Any ideas?
If so how would you go about managing both figures?

If you could live with an approximation of the Euro dollar cost, you could
use a custom Cost field and name it Euro Dollar Cost, and then enter a
formula that multiplies the Cost field times the current conversion rate.
For example, the conversion rate for today is .748717 Euros for each US
dollar. Just a thought. Hope this helps.

The problem in this case is... part of the services in this project are paid
in Euro and some are paid in US dollars. So there are tasks that will have
Euro dollars with zero US Dollars.

So I'm assuming that I would still use a Cost task code and apply the
appropriate amounts to the correct field.

Do you agree?

I think the trouble you will have is that every task will be calculated in
US dollars automatically. I would encourage you to try and see if you can
come up with a solution, and let us know if it works.
