ConvertCurrency


I am trying to convert the Opportunity Amount using the ConvertCurrency function in a formula. I used ConvertCUrrency(Amount), but I am getting "Error: Incorrect parameter type for function 'convertCurrency()'. Expected Currency, received Number" even though the type of Amount field is Currency. Any idea why is it so and how can it be fixed? Multi-Currency is already enabled for my organization.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the links. But, none of these explain why I can't use ConvertCurrency on a currency field. Do you know why it isn't working?
