Get a currency exchange rate
With the Currencies data type you can easily get and compare exchange rates from around the world. In this article, you’ll learn how to enter currency pairs, convert them into a data type, and extract more information for robust data.
Note: Currency pairs are only available to Microsoft 365 accounts (Worldwide Multi-Tenant clients.)
Use the Currencies data type to calculate exchange rates
Enter the currency pair in a cell using this format: From Currency / To Currency with the ISO currency codes.
For example, enter «USD/EUR» to get the exchange rate from one United States Dollar to Euros.
Select the cells and then select Insert > Table. Although creating a table isn’t required, it’ll make inserting data from the data type much easier later.
With the cells still selected, go to the Data tab and select the Currencies data type.
If Excel finds a match between the currency pair and our data provider, your text will convert to a data type and you’ll see the Currencies icon in the cell.
Note: If you see in the cell instead of the Currencies icon, then Excel is having difficulty matching the text with data. Correct any mistakes and press Enter to try again. Or, select the icon to open the Data Selector where you can search for a currency pair or specify the data you need.
To extract more information from the Currencies data type, select one or more converted cells and select the Insert Data button that appears or press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+F5.
You’ll see a list of all the fields available to choose from. Select the fields to add a new column of data.
For example, Price represents the exchange rate for the currency pair, Last Trade Time represents the time the exchange rate was quoted.
Once you have all the currency data that you want, you can use it in formulas or calculations. To ensure your data is up to date, you can go to Data > Refresh All to get an updated quote.
Caution: Currency information is provided «as-is» and may be delayed. Therefore, this data should not be used for trading purposes or advice. See About our data sources for more information.

Exchanging Data with Excel FilesпѓЃ
This is a follow up to AIMMS Excel Library — AXLL . The вЂAIMMS Excel Library (AXLL)’ lets you exchange data between AIMMS and Excel files (.xls and .xlsx) without having Excel installed on that computer. This is very useful when deploying applications using AIMMS PRO as it is typically installed on a terminal server where a copy of Microsoft Office is not available.
In this article, we show you which functions available in axll:: namespace to use depending on the format of the data in your Excel file.
Reading your Excel File in AIMMSпѓЃ
I needed some geographical information about the US for an application I was building. The information was easy to find online. I downloaded the file below, titled free-zipcode-database-Primary.xlsx . It provided the zip code, State, Latitude and Longitude columns I needed.
Next, I created a procedure in my AIMMS project, called ReadFromExcel . In the procedure, first I would like to have AIMMS point to the file so I can read it. Here is the code:
I used a String Parameter WorkBookName to take the file name. The code in the if statement is to avoid opening the workbook again if it is already opened. If it was already opened, I would just select it by calling axll::SelectWorkBook function; otherwise,I would open the file by the axll::OpenWorkBook function.
The next thing is to use axll::SelectSheet to set the sheet I am going to use.
Then I use axll::ReadSet function to read value for set sZipCode .
The first argument, axll::ReadSet::SetReference , is the set name. The second argument, axll::ReadSet::SetRange , is the range in Excel. The third argument, axll::ReadSet::ExtendSuperSets , is telling AIMMS to extend this set’s super set when the elements read in this Excel are not part of the super set.
Adding ParametersпѓЃ
Next, I want to make sure I can read the following data in two dimensional parameters Coordinates(z,iLonLat) , by using axll::ReadTable .
The first argument, IdentifierReference , is the name of the parameter. The second argument, RowHeaderRange , is the range for first index z , which is represented as row range «A2:A42523» in Excel. The third argument, ColumnHeaderRange , is the range for second index iLonLat , which is represented as column range «F1:G1» in Excel. The forth argument, DataRange , is the range for the actual data.
In case you have an identifier with more dimensions, RowHeaderRange is the range where the starting indices reside, and ColumnHeaderRange , is the range where the ending indices reside. For example, identifier MyValue(r1, r2, r3, r4,c1,c2,c3,c4) has 8 indices, and the data in Excel looks like this:
Then the axll::ReadTable statement will be:
Continuing with the zip code example. I then use axll::ReadSet to read in data for set sState .
And axll::ReadList to read in data ZipCodeState(z) , which holds the state name that each zip code belongs to.
axll::ReadList is designed for reading in data which is represented as lists in Excel. So it is only with RowHeaderRange . The following Excel Sheet is an example with «A8:D17» as RowHeaderRange and «E8:E17» as DataRange.
At this point, everything I need to use in my model is in there, so I use axll::CloseWorkBook to close the workbook.
With the data I just imported from Excel, I can do further analyses. For example, I can calculate the distance between zip codes based on the latitude and longitude, and show it in AIMMS WebUI.
Similarly, you can use the AIMMSXLLibrary to write to Excel. You can see the comments in the library for further reference.

Transfer of data from one Excel table to another one
A table in Excel is a complex array with set of parameters. It can consist of values, text cells, formulas and be formatted in various ways (cells can have a certain alignment, color, text direction, special notes, etc.).
When you copy a table, sometimes you do not have to transfer all of its elements, but only some of its. Consider how this can be done.
The past special
It is very convenient to carry out the transfer of the data in the table using the past special. It allows you to select only those parameters that we need when copying. Let’s consider an example.
We have the table with the indicators for the presence of macaroni of certain brands in the warehouse of the store. It is clearly visible, how many kilograms were at the beginning of the month, how much of them were bought and sold, and also the balance at the end of the month. Two important columns are highlighted in different colors. The balance at the end of the month is calculated by the elementary formula.
We will try to use the PAST SPECIAL command and copy all the data.
First we select the existing table, right click the menu and click on COPY.
In the free cell, we call the menu again with the right button and press the PAST SPECIAL.
If we leave everything as is by default and just click OK, the table will be inserted completely, with all its parameters.
Let’s try to experiment. In the PAST SPECIAL we choose another item, for example, FORMULAS. We have already received an unformatted table, but with working formulas.
Now we will insert not the formulas, but only the VALUES of the results of calculations.
That a new table with values to get the appearance similar to the sample, you need to select it and insert the FORMATS using a special insert.
Now let’s try to choose the item WITHOUT FRAME. We got the full table, but only without the allocated borders.
The wholesome advice! To migrate the format along with the size of the columns, you need to select not the range of the source table, but the entire columns (in this case, the A: F range) before the copying.
Similarly, you can experiment with each item of the PAST SPECIAL to see clearly how it works.
Transfer of data to another sheet
Transferring data to other worksheets in the Excel workbook allows you to link multiple tables. This is convenient because when you replace a value on one sheet, the values change on all the others. When creating annual reports, this is an indispensable thing.
Consider how this works. For a start we rename Excel sheets in months. Then, with the helping of the PAST SPECIAL that we already know, we move the table to February and remove the values from the three columns:
- At the beginning of the month.
- The incoming.
- The expense.
The column «At the end of the month» is given by the formula, so when you delete values from the previous columns, it is automatically reset to zero.
We will transfer to the data on the remainder of macaroni of each brand from January to February. This is done in a couple of clicks.
- On the FEBRUARY sheet we place the cursor in the cell, indicating the amount of macaroni of grade A at the beginning of the month. You can see the picture above — this will be cell D3.
- We put in this cell to the sign EQUAL.
- Go to the JANUARY sheet and click on the cell showing the amount of macaroni of grade A at the end of the month (in this case it is cell F2).
We get the following: in the cell C2 the formula was formed, which sends us to the cell F2 of the JANUARY sheet. Stretch the formula down to know the amount of macaroni of each brand at the beginning of February.
Similarly, you can transfer the data to all months and get to the visual annual report.
Data transfer to another file
Similarly, you can transfer data from one file to another one. This book in our example is called EXCEL. Create another one and name it EXAMPLE.
Note. You can create new Excel files even in different folders. The program will automatically search for the specified book, regardless of which folder and on what drive of the computer it is located.
We copy in the book EXAMPLE to the table using the same PAST SPECIAL and again delete the values from the three columns. We will perform the same actions as in the previous paragraph, but we will not go to another sheet, but to another book only.
We have received to the new formula, which shows that the cell refers to the book EXCEL. And we see that the cell =[raports.xlsx]January!F2 looks like =[raports.xlsx]January!$F$2, i. e. it is fixed. And if we want to stretch to the formula in other brands of macaroni, first you need to remove the dollar badges for removing to the commit.
Now you know how to correctly transfer data from tables within one sheet, from one sheet to another, and from one file to another one.

Exchange rate in Excel
With Office 365, you can insert Exchange rate in your worksheets
The version of Excel in Office 365 allows you to collect the exchange rate of currencies of the current day.
Add Exchange Rate
The Office 365 version provides a great new feature ; Data Type. You just have to fill geographic data or financial data and Excel connects to a database to add values to the original one.
If you want to add financial data to the name of a stock holder or to return the exchange rate between 2 currencies, you just have to write your value in cells and then Click on the button Data > Stocks. You can use any separator ; space, dash, slash, pipe, .
What are the details behind the link
Once your have linked 2 currency to the Data Type tool, you can visualized all the informations in relationship between the 2 currencies by clicking on the icon
As you can see, behind a single connection between 2 currencies, you can return a lot of informations.
Return the last Exchange rate
What is amazing with Data Type, it’s the simplicity to return one of the data linked. To do that, you can click on the little rectangle in order to open the list of data you can add.
Or you can write a formula with a reference to the cell with the icon and then you press dot. Like that, you can also visualise all the information linked. Double-click or press Tab to select the option you want.
In both situation, the formula is
Copy the dotted formula (beware of the format)
Like all the formulas in Excel, you can easily drag-and-drop the fill-handle to copy the formula.
But in this situation, you must take care of the currency format. Of course, when you copy the formula, you copy also the format of the original cell.
But you can force the each format by selecting the option Update Format.

Two methods for automatically transferring data from one Excel worksheet to another
While there are various methods for transferring data from one Excel worksheet to another, the two simplest are the Copy and Paste Link and the Worksheet Reference methods.
How to Link Sheets in Excel?
Use Copy and Paste Link to automatically transfer data from one Excel worksheet to another
While you’re probably familiar with the standard Copy and Paste function, Excel offers multiple paste options. One of these is Link, which allows you to paste a value from another worksheet and link the pasted value to the copied value. In other words, if you change the original value you copied, the pasted value will automatically change as well.
These steps will show you how to use the Copy and Paste Link function:
- 1. Open two spreadsheets containing the same simple dataset.
- 2. In sheet 1, select a cell and type Ctrl + C / Cmd + C to copy it.
- 3. In sheet 2, right-click on the equivalent cell and go to the Paste > Link.
- 4. To prove they’re linked, return to sheet 1 and change the value in the cell you copied.
- 5. Finally, return to sheet 2 to see that the value has also changed.
How to VLOOKUP in Excel with Two Spreadsheets?

Use worksheet reference to automatically transfer data from one Excel worksheet to another
This method is more manual than the Copy and Paste method but is equally simple and useful to know, just in case. The following steps will teach you how to use the worksheet reference method to transfer data from one Excel worksheet to another automatically:
- 1. Open two spreadsheets containing the same, simple dataset.
- 2. In sheet 2, double-click on a cell to the right of the dataset and type ‘=’.
- 3. Go to sheet 1, click any cell from the dataset, and press Enter.
You should automatically be returned to Sheet 2, where the cell previously containing ‘=’ now contains the value you chose to transfer from Sheet 1.
- 4. To prove they’re linked, return to Sheet 1 and change the value you chose to transfer.
Sheet 2 will automatically have changed the value to your chosen new value.
Move data from one Excel sheet to another based on criteria using the filter feature
In this example, you will learn how to filter data based on column criteria so that you keep only what you need. Then, you can copy and paste the data into a new sheet, as demonstrated in the above example.
- 1. Open a dataset on an Excel worksheet with filterable criteria.
- 2. Select the criteria column from which you want to filter and go to Data > Filter.
- 3. Click the small arrow beside the column header to open a drop-down menu.
- 4. At the bottom of this menu, tick the box of the row(s) that you want to keep and click “Apply”.
You should now see only the data you wanted to keep.
To move this data to another sheet, follow the steps that show you how to copy and paste to automatically transfer data from one Excel worksheet to another.

Keeping knowledge of these things is very important mainly when you are working with a large-size Excel worksheet having lots of data in it.
If you don’t have any clue about this, then this blog will help you out. As in this post, we will discuss how to copy data from one cell to another in Excel automatically?
Also, learn how to automatically update one Excel worksheet from another sheet, transfer data from one Excel worksheet to another automatically, and many more things in detail.
So, just go through this blog carefully.
Practical Scenario
Okay, first I should mention that I’m a complete amateur when it comes to excel. No VBA or macro experience, so if you’re not sure whether I know something yet, I probably don’t.
I have a workbook with 6 worksheets inside; one of the sheets is a master; it’s simply the other 6 sheets compiled into 1 big one. I need to set it up so that any new data entered into the new separate sheets is automatically entered into the master sheet, in the first blank row.
The columns are not the same across all the sheets. Hopefully, this will be easier for the pros here than it’s been for me, I’ve been banging my head against the wall on this one. I’ll be checking this thread religiously, so if you need any more information just let me know…
Thanks in advance for any help.

Methods To Transfer Data From One Excel Workbook To Another
There are many different ways to transfer data from one Excel workbook to another and they are as follows:
Method #1: Automatically Update One Excel Worksheet From Another Sheet
In MS Excel workbook, we can easily update the data by linking one worksheet to another. This link is known as a dynamic formula that transfers data from one Excel workbook to another automatically.
One Excel workbook is called the source worksheet, where this link carries the worksheet data automatically, and the other workbook is called the destination worksheet in which it automatically updates the worksheet data and contains the link formula.
The following are the two different points to link the Excel workbook data for the automatic updates.
1) With the use of Copy and Paste option
- In the source worksheet, select and copy the data that you want to link in another worksheet
- Now in the destination worksheet, Paste the data where you have linked the cell source worksheet
- After that choose the Paste Link menu from the Other Paste Options in the Excel workbook
