I really need the dollar-euro exchange rate at the moment of order placement
as a macro in the invoice.
I use the invoice generator as a generator of a list of data that I use as input
for my administration software. I have all I need, except for the exchange rate
at the moment the order was placed. I am aware there is a macro
that generates the amount in Euro, but only when the buyer has selected Euro
as their preferred currency. I need that, and/or the exhcange rate, to be available
to me always. I bet I'm not the only one, right? Or did I miss a tag that's
already there?

The tag BASEGRANDTOTAL gives the amount in your store's currency. The tag
DISPGRANDTOTAL gives the amount in the currency that the buyer selected at checkout.

Just divide the euro ammount by the dollar ammount?
Thanks for the suggestions. It feels a bit drastic to go and change my store's
currency - I kind of like my store the way it is. Retrieving the Euro total manually
and calculating the exchange rate from there would work, however as a daily routine
it's a bit tedious to get the invoice data, then go back, check the order
details, and manually copy the Euro total from there. It's not a big deal,
but if selling on Bricklink becomes a way of life it gets annoying after a while
and more error prone (well, if you're me, anyway). But you're right,
so far these are the best solutions.
As I see it, this is a really simple little something they could add without
much trouble. Just a DOLLARTOEURO tag or something like that. Or EUROTOTAL
so my administration software can calculate it from there. I think that'd
be handy for a bunch of other sellers too, and it doesn't change a thing
for people who don't find it useful
