=VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "exchangeRate")
What this pulls

The current exchange rate between any two currencies, in a cell. Write the pair once — =VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "exchangeRate") — or point it at two cells holding the currency codes, and drag it down a whole table of pairs.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 2 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

A rates table that stays current

List currency pairs down two columns and fill the rate beside them — a live FX table for pricing or treasury that never needs re-pasting.

Price lists in every currency

Multiply a base price column by the live rate cell to keep regional price lists in step with the market.

Flag big moves

Compare the live rate to the rate you budgeted at, and let conditional formatting light up any pair that has drifted past your threshold.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "exchangeRate")
Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "exchangeRate")
Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

  • datePremium

    Optional past date (YYYY-MM-DD) to use that day's closing rates instead of live rates. History runs from 1999-01-04 for about 30 major currencies and covers every supported currency from March 2024. A day with no rates, such as a weekend or holiday, uses the last close before it.

    =VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "date", "2025-06-02")
Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

  • Exchange Rate
    =VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "exchangeRate")
  • Inverse RatePremium
    =VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "inverseRate")
  • Last Updated
    =VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "lastUpdated")
  • Currency1
    =VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "currency1")
  • Currency2
    =VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "currency2")

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Exchange Rates, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I get an exchange rate in Excel?
Type =VERVE.CALL("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "exchangeRate") into a cell for the live USD→EUR rate. To run a table, put the base currency in A2 and the quote currency in B2 and use =VERVE.CALL("exchangerate", A2, B2, "field", "exchangeRate"). Google Sheets is the same with =VERVE().
How do I convert a column of amounts with the rate?
Multiply: =A2 * VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "exchangeRate"). If you'd rather have the converted amount returned directly, the Currency Converter source takes the amount as an input.
Can I get a historical exchange rate?
On paid plans, add a "date" pair: =VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "date", "2025-06-02", "field", "exchangeRate") returns that day's closing rate.
How do I pull Exchange Rates into Google Sheets?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "field", "exchangeRate") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.
What data can I pull from Exchange Rates?
Exchange Rates returns exchangeRate, lastUpdated, currency1 and currency2 — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.
Can I narrow what Exchange Rates returns?
Yes — Exchange Rates takes "date" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("exchangerate", "USD", "EUR", "date", "2025-06-02") shapes the result without changing anything else.
Which Exchange Rates fields need a paid plan?
inverseRate is included from the Starter plan up. On the Free plan the cell returns #PREMIUM(field) rather than a wrong or empty value, so it's always obvious which one to upgrade for. Every other field works on Free.
Can I fill a whole column of Exchange Rates at once?
Yes. Put your currency1 values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.
How many credits does each Exchange Rates cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 2 credits. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.
Does Exchange Rates work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
How current is Exchange Rates?
It draws on 170+ currencies, served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.
