How to automatically convert Israeli New Shekel (ILS/NIS) to South African Rand (ZAR) in Numbers on iCloud?

Hi everyone,


Hoping someone will be bale to offer some clarity here.


I've tried both.

=CURRENCYCONVERT(value,currency-code)


and


=CURRENCY(currency-1, currency-2, price)


but neither have been successful. Each time I get the red warning triangle.


I formatted cell A1 as Israeli New Shekel and cell B1 as South African Rand (ZAR)

The value for A1 is. 1000 shekels

I need the ZAR value; and it needs to update automatically from previous or current day's exchange rates.



I have however, managed to successfully convert USD to ZAR on separate table upon the same sheet using =CURRENCYCONVERT(A3,"ZAR")


cell A2 contains the word USD, B2 ZAR

cell A3 contains US$ 592.67 formatted under Data tab as US Dollar (US$);

whilst B3 is formatted to South African Rand (ZAR)

The answer I get is ZAR 11,075.81


Can someone please indicate if I've gone wrong somewhere or how I might fix this? or if theres an a 3-letter code like ILS or NIS that would work, as i have tried these and not had success on them either.


Oh, I am using. icloud.com for Numbers on a late 2011 Macbook Pro, stuck on High Sierra. No iWork suite installed. Couldnt recover original iWork suite purchase, gettinga notification that says I have to be on latest versions of MacOS to allow my apple ID to work. as iPhone kept my apple ID moving for

There does seem to be a subset of currency conversions that Numbers chokes on, and ILS <-> ZAR seems to be one of them.


It doesn't seem to matter if you use the ISO currency code, or the symbol. ILS<->ZAR just doesn't work.


For grins (hey, it's Monday), I took the entire ISO 4217 Currency Code list and created a table showing which ones are supported.
