Even though the base currency of all of these is correct there is a random conversion to £ in the second line of a recorded transaction. I can't find any option to turn this off. The alternative is to switch to single line mode but this doesn't allow for my descriptions to appear. Why does this happen for a while under different accounts and then turn itself off?</p></div>cjoy1000tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/495961412022-01-15T21:52:24Z2022-01-15T21:52:24ZRandom currency conversions<div><p>Hello,</p>
<p>Is it possible that the category or second account associated with that transaction is in a different currency? That would cause a conversion to appear in that line.</p>
<p>If that doesn't seem to help, is there any consistency you can see in which transactions have these conversions? Such as a similar category, a transfer between accounts, etc?</p>

Hi cjoy1000</p>
<p>If you are not fully conversant with how Moneydance handles foreign currencies my notes in the attached PDF may help.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/495961412022-02-03T21:44:39Z2022-02-03T21:44:39ZRandom currency conversions<div><p>Thank you for the response and apologies for slow reply.<br>
The various accounts are set up in the correct currencies.<br>
I have attached a screen shot of a typical random occurrence. The entry<br>
seems to assume I wish to convert into £ suddenly.</p></div>cjoy1000tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/495961412022-02-03T22:27:54Z2022-02-03T22:27:54ZRandom currency conversions<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>
Hi cjoy1000</p>
<p>I think there may be an issue with Categories and Exchange Rates.<br>
What is your Base Currency of your data set as shown under TOOLS – CURRENCY.<br>
Under TOOLS – CATEGORIES see if the category Tourrettes:Utility is listed more than once. If so can you post a screen shot of this section of the window. Also take a screen shot of the category Profess fees.</p>
<p>The above hopefully will be a step in understanding what’s happening.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/495961412022-02-03T22:34:29Z2022-02-03T22:34:29ZRandom currency conversions<div><p>I'm a fellow user.</p>
<p>I suggest you check you categories. Take the menu path Tools --> Categories. This will open up the categories Window.</p>
<p>Once you have this window open scroll down the list to make sure all the categories have the correct currency. I would also be looking to see if I had two categories of the same name but with different currencies.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/495961412022-02-03T23:26:57Z2022-02-03T23:26:57ZRandom currency conversions<div><p>My base currency is £GB.<br>
All my categories are in £ and always have been. It doesn't allow me to<br>
edit the currency.<br>
I have individual accounts in $ and € which are set correctly.<br>
Appreciate your input but this doesn't explain why it randomly does the<br>
exchange rate. Categories such as 'holiday' and 'groceries' appear in all<br>
my accounts.</p></div>cjoy1000
