Travelers Can Make A Currency Converter In Notion

I recently made a travel log for Notion that provided a preliminary traveling essentials checklist, journal prompts and visitation log. That template was missing something. I decided to add a this currency calculator at the bottom of my lifestyle dashboard. It’s fairly simple to google this information but what’s the fun in that? My calculator is simple. Input a value of currency inside the Amount property and label Currency Input to appropriate country. Checkbox columns for convert to country properties follow. It looks a little something like this:

These checkboxes will be used for the result at the end of the table. It’s easy enough to find these conversions online. Use a simple “IF Statement” with basic multiplication to trigger a result.

Single string example:

if(prop("Currency Input") == "American Dollar" and prop("Amount") > 0 and prop("CAN Dollar C"), prop("Amount") * 1.31

I provide only US dollar and CAN dollar inputs, however, I provide variables at the bottom of the template for customization.
