Unit Converter Widget displays false Currency values

Hello there
Here is what happens:
No matter how many times I desactivate, re-activate the Conversion between two currencies are wrong; even though it seems to retrieve the latest data from Yahoo!finance.
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/624059/currency.png
Here is a picture of what gives 1€ = 0.178USD which is equivalent to US$1= 5.6€ !
I have repaired the Startup disk permissions a couple times already.. in vain.
Has anyone experienced this?
Is this related to System preferences' "International settings" ? Just a thought...
Thanks for your help,
Regards

this is a known bug caused by safari 4. you can uninstall safari 4 or try the following hack

Problem with unit converter widget

I am having a weird problem with my unit converter widget on 10.4.9.
I re-installed my system, and now when I go to open the unit converter widget, I can no longer see the British pound currency, there are all these othere European currencies.
Is there anyway to get the British pound currency back, do I need to re-install the widget, and how do I do that.

Then I'd try removing & reinstalling it...

If it's one that came with OSX, you may have to get pacifist to extract it from your install Disk.

My Unit Converter Widget is not right

I'd been stop using Unit Converter widget from Dashboard since many months ago, now it's getting very inconvenient for me because even after many OS X updates, my Unit Converter shows wrong information of the currency conversion.
Here's a screen capture image I took:
http://edrian.com/unitconverter.png
I tried to delete this Widget and replace from other Mac running OS X Leopard, but it still doesn't work right. Any ideas and how can I fix this issue?

I updated to the latest OS X 10.5.4 and the unit converter widget still not working properly. Obviously Apple didn't look into this at all.
I would recommend downloading this Currency Converter http://widgets.palple.net/

Unit Converter Widget Broken

Hi there!
For some reason, my unit converter widget decided to not work anymore; I am not able to select any of the drop downs but can type text in the textfields (not that it helps).
Anybody got any idea on how to fix it?
I have already tried:
- ⌘ + R
- Closing & Re-adding the widget
TM

Have you tried removing it from your dashboard, then adding it back? Display the dashboard, then click the large plus symbol in the lower left. An X will appear at the top left corner of each widget. Click the X for your Unit Converter. Then, drag another Unit Converter up from the row of widget icons at the bottom.
If that doesn't fix it, open a Finder window and click your home folder in the left sidebar. Double click Library, then Preferences. Find the file named "widget-com.apple.widget.unitconverter.plist" and drag it to the trash. You'll probably have to switch to the List view rather than Icon view, and make the Name column very wide, to find the file. Once it's in the trash, log out and log back in.

Display parallel currency values with KSB1.

Hello,
My local and CO currencies are both set to USD. I have a hard currency of MXN. With KSB1, if the document is entered in local currency (USD), is there a way to display the corresponding hard currency value?
If the document is posted in hard currency, I have no trouble displaying it in USD (local currency) by bringing in the field Val. in Rep. Curr.
Thank you

Exactly is what i said.
Your example
USD is Cotrolling aea currency
MXN is Transaction currency
As the MXN is Transaction currency here, you can bale to see the values.
but normally, the MXN is Hard currency which is 3rd currency.
So, the report KOB1 shows you only
CO Area currency
Transaction currnncy and
Object currency, which could be your local corrnecy

Unit converter widget on kde

does anyone use the unit converter on kde?
I have been using it for a long while, and it has been working fine, but since the last few kde upgrades, I cannot type anything into the unit converter data field, so I cannot convert anything.
anyone else got this issue?

I have found out why this is occuring, but I do not know how to resolve it..
The text that is being entered has a white font colour, and the backgroung is also white, so I cannot see it. If I highlight (double click) what has been entered, I can see the text.
This is also happening on the calendar widget (where the week no, and the date are entered in text at the bottom).
Does anyone know how to change the font colour or the background colour for these? (I have tried changing the clock backgroung colour, but this has no effect on the text boxes).

Unit Converter Widget and Dashboard

Hey
I went to check how much $25 was in US Dollars from Australian Dollars, and i saw that the US dollars had moved from the top of the list right to the bottom, and it no longer gave a accurate result, it said $1AUD was = to 1 cent. So i tried moving it out of the dashboard folder and putting it back (in a desperate attempt to make it work) So i deleted it hoping i could just get it back from either the leopard disk or the tiger disk but i couldn't find it using Pacifist. So now I'm stuck without it and was hoping someone out there could let me know why it stuffed up in the first place and where i can get it back from.
Thanks all who can help!

This happened to me too, so I went and had a look at the unit convertor code, and fixed it.
it's a pretty simple fix, you need to load up UnitConvertor.js from inside the widget bundle and find
function populateUnitSelect(select), inside of which there is a sort function units.sort, replace its lines with this:
units.sort(function (a, b) {
if (a.iso == "USD") return -1;
else if (b.iso == "USD") return 1;
else if (a.name < b.name) return -1;
else if (b.name < a.name) return 1;
return 0;
and it should work, It just ads an extra case for USD as b value.

Converter Widget giving wrong conversions with Currency

This has been useless for a very long time. Try doing a currency conversion of one US dollar equals the currency of your choice: Euro, British Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar. The results are completely wrong. Not sure if the widget is screwed or it's the service the conversions are actually coming from.

Here's the solution to the problem folks. The widget is messed up under OS X 10.5.6. Thanks.
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090225162441861
+The Unit Converter Widget is broken in Mac OS X 10.5.6: the left and right pop-up menus do not match, and Apple's code assumes they do. On the left menu, the Australian dollar appears at the top; on the right menu, it's the US Dollar. As a result, conversions come out incorrectly!+
+To fix this problem, make a copy of /Library/Widgets/Unit Converter.wdgt on your Desktop, Control-click on it and choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu, then open the UnitConverter.js file in a text editor. Search for "USD" (with the quotes). There should be only one matching line:+
+if (a.iso == "USD") return -1;+
+Delete this line. Then, delete the else at the start of the next line, i.e. change the line from this...+
+else if (a.name < b.name) return -1;+
+...to this...+
+if (a.name < b.name) return -1;+
+Save the changes and close the document. I suggest keeping the original widget in /Library/Widgets, and installing the corrected version in ~/Library/Widgets, so that the system's version remains untouched.+
+*robg adds:* When originally posted, I thought this was merely a display glitch, but it's not -- the calculations simply won't work properly with the two lists not being the same. You can test this yourself by converting any number in the default widget as it appears -- enter 55 in the left-side box, for instance, with the left pop-up on Australian Dollar and the right on US Dollar, and you'll see that the result is also shown as 55. Clearly that's not correct. This hint fixes that problem. Sorry for the confusion.+
P.S. There is some speculation that the Safari 4 Beta has had a hand in this as well, though not sure how Safari 4 would affect the widget.

Display Currency Value of User POV for Entity & Value in Text Box (Header)

I am looking for a function in Financial Reporting Studio that operates the same as the HsCurrency function in Smart View. This would allow batch reports displaying the currency value of the User POV for Entity based on the User POV for Value. Right now I have to have Member Lists for separate reports and different currencies as I am only able to display the Value dimension in the heading of a given report. Users will not be certain of the currency if the Value dimension is <Entity Curr Total>.
I tried the HFMCurrency text function, however the entity is not defined in a Row / Column / Page reference as the entity is determined by the User's Point of View.
Is there a way to display the currency value of a User's Point of View for Entity based on the User's Point of View for Value?
Reference from Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office, Fusion Edition, User's Guide:
HsCurrency
Data sources: Financial Management, Hyperion Enterprise
HsCurrency retrieves the currency value of the specified dimension member. Entity and Value are the only valid members for the HsCurrency function.
Syntax
HsCurrency (“Connection,Entity;Value”)
Example
In this example, HsCurrency retrieves the entity currency where the currency for the East Sales entity is USD, and the currency for the UKSales entity is GBR. The EastSales entity displays USD, and UKSales displays GBR.
HsCurrency(“Comma”,”Entity#EastRegion.EastSales;Value#<Entity Currency>.”)
HsCurrency(“Comma”,”Entity#EastRegion.UKSales;Value#<Entity Currency>.”)

The Unit Converter is ERROR

The Unit Converter is ERROR with Currency Exchange
i did send the letter to yahoo, please check it out, man

no, the problem existed before, a couple of weeks already.
I just checked again, on my old mac mini, w/ safari 3, same problem.
I guess the connection to yahoo-finance (i.e. the data the widget gets from Y!) is somehow messed up.

Preventing display of currency unit infoobject values in a report

Hi,
For a currency type key figure, there is a currency unit infoobject specified. This has INR (Indian Rupees) as its value in the infocube for all the records. When I display the KF in a report, the value of the associated currency unit also gets displayed with it. Is there any way to not get this display of the associated currency unit other than not having any currency unit values in the infocube?

Hi Jr,
Thanks, that works.

Improper display with Currency/Unit in drilldown

Hi ,
There are 2 KFs in the query , 2nd KF is one level down (i.e inside the triangle of first KF) .
KF's are :
Net value
Net val in doc currency
when i drill down on Currency/unit it just drills down by statistics currency (i.e for first KF) it doesn't display other currencies for KF Net val in doc currency .
But when i bring the 2nd KF to same level as first KF (i.e outside triangle) it works properly .
Can any one tell me the reason if you had a similar case .
I think it's some front end problem ?
Thanks
Gururaj

Gururaj,
I think that it is normal behaviour.
When you drill down by currency, the 1st KF is drilled down. For example, after drill down you have several rows (columns) with particular statistics currencies.
The currency shown in each particular row (column) acts like a filter for subordinate nodes.
If your doc currency doesn't equal to statistics currency, nothing will be shown.
Best regards,
Eugene

How to convert a string to a currency value ? getting a dump with exception

Hi,
I am getting a exception not caught in CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER.
I am trying to convert a string value with ',' to a currency value.
I tried using Replace and Condense. But the error still persists.
Is there a FM or a casting that I can use?
Cheers
Kiran

Hi,
Sorry I got my question wrong. I have a problem - that when I'm trying to pass a value from a string to a currency field.
But, the currency field is a field symbol.
so, I have
data abc type string.
abc = "5345"
<curr_val> = abc.
now <curr_val> = 0.000
Please suggest.
