Need help on a trigger converting currency to USD

I created a number field that I am trying to populate with the USD amount of a currency field on opportunities. I have tried two methods but still the field display only the currecy thet the opportunity is in...any help is appreciated...

Method 1
trigger convertcurrency on Opportunity (before insert, before update) {
    for(Opportunity o :trigger.new){
        Boolean isChanged = false;
        if(trigger.isUpdate && o.Reporting_Total__c != trigger.oldMap.get(o.Id).Reporting_Total__c){
            isChanged = true;
        {
        Opportunity[] opps = [select convertCurrency(Reporting_Total__c) from Opportunity where Id = :o.Id];
                        o.Reporting_Total_in_USD__c = o.Reporting_Total__c;
                
        }
        }
    }
}

===============================================
Method 2
trigger convertcurrency on Opportunity (before insert, before update) {
    for(Opportunity o :trigger.new){
        Boolean isChanged = false;
        if(trigger.isUpdate && o.Reporting_Total__c != trigger.oldMap.get(o.Id).Reporting_Total__c){
            isChanged = true;
        {
        
        For (AggregateResult[] opp : [select name, SUM(Reporting_Total__c) rt from Opportunity where id = : o.id  group by Name ])
        
        for(AggregateResult ar : opp){
        
                        o.Reporting_Total_in_USD__c = o.Reporting_Total__c;
                                      }
        }
    }
}
}

Hi,

You can use formula field or process builder(new tool) to achieve this.
Where are you geting conversion formula from ? I assume Reporting_Total__c don't have USD value.

Hi Rahul,

I have tried a formual field, both as currency and number. I was unable to use the convertcurrency() function in either formula.but got the  just adding the convertcurrency() function retunred the Error: Incorrect parameter type for function 'convertcurrency()'. Expected Currency, received Number...even though this is a currecy field. 

I have also tried the following in a trigger

 if(currencies.get(o.CurrencyIsoCode).ConversionRate != null){
                o.Reporting_Total_in_USD__c = o.Reporting_Total__c / currencies.get
(o.CurrencyIsoCode).ConversionRate;

This gets me closer but if the close date on the opportunity is any other month than the current month the values do not match.

Thanks,
Al .

Hi,

convertcurrency() is used when multicurrency is enabled. Is that enabled and set USD and local currency in your system?

Please check link below.

Could you please share forumla field and formula you wrote to convert Your currency to USD?

Thanks,

Rahul
