How to configure HFM to allow loading of EOM and AVG rates?

Question

I am new to HFM and would appreciate some assistance with loading of Exchange rates. I have created the currency members in the Value and Account Dimensions, and have also created two additional accounts (in the Accounts dimension) to capture the EOM and AVG rates, and tagged these as "currencyrate" in account type. How do I get the rates to appear in C1 and C2 so that I can load EOM and AVG rates? Firstly, the TO and FROM rates do not appear in C1 & C2 for me to select (via a Grid).  And when I tried to load the data via a flat file, the system highlights that the intersection is invalid..
Scenario;Year;Period;View;Entity;Value;Account;ICP;C1;C2;C3;C4;Amount
Actual;2013;Jul;YTD;[None];<Entity Currency>;EOMRate;[ICP None];AUD;USD;[None];[None];X.XXXX
When I tried creating the currencies in C1 & C2, the system rejected the members due to duplication (ie in the Value dimension)
Assistance appreciated.
Thanks

Hi JC,
To view/load the rates in a grid you'll want to select [Currencies] from View option in your Member Selection.  View is the first of the three icons at the top of the screen (View, Filters, and Options).  Once you select [Currencies] you'll see a list comprised of all members you've previously added to the Value dimension.
Your flat file looks good, however, you might try loading to [None] in the Value dimension rather than <Entity Currency>.  Also, confirm the members to which you're loading in C1 and C2 exist in the Value dimension.
Note: you can also view/load rates using HsSetValue formulas.
Thanks,
