Example: Triangulation Method

This example shows the exchange rate setup for a CAD to EUR currency relationship that uses the triangulation calculation method. The triangulation currency is USD. As the table shows, you must use the no inverse method in combination with the triangulation calculation method:

Currency Relationship	Multiplier Conversion Method (Y) and No Inverse Rate	Divisor Conversion Method (Z) and No Inverse Rate
CAD to USD	0.64148	blank
USD to EUR	blank	1.01888

To convert amounts from CAD to EUR using USD as the triangulation currency, the system first calculates the CAD to USD amount using the multiplier conversion method (leg 1), and then the USD to EUR amount using the divisor conversion method (leg 2).
