Quick Math
I followed Angie Rauscher's post about quick math but can't seem to get it to work. I type in 14.99t, then tab to the next field, but that field remained !4.99. What am I missing. I saw the Currency/Security History screenshot and made mine identical to it. Can you also post what the "Edit Currencies/Exchange Rates" window should look like? How did you set this currency so that t = $1.07? I guess I need step by step instructions to complete this quick math workaround. Thanks

did you leave a space between the number and the letter t?

THAT WAS IT. Thanks. It is so frustrating that these small details are not included when these informational posts are written. Ugh

The example Angie gave did have a space in it :)
In computing a space is often used as a delimiter, hence it is rare to see it specifically mentioned as being significant. So here the space is used as a delimiter between the amount and an action to be taken, without the space you just have a text string and as a numeric field the appended letter is invalid, so the software can take two possible approaches - drop the alpha character or enter nothing into the field at all. it appears it takes the approach that the added letter was a mistake (high probability with my keyboard skills) and should be ignored.
