    Currency Conversion/Selection choices

    I have a request to allow users in different countries to select their country from a drop-down list and based on that selection allow them to enter their currency in the cost fields in a table.

    I first thought of creating separate fields for each currency value in the the drop-down and use rules to display the field that corresponded with the drop-down selection.

    The issue with that is they have given me 50+ country/currencies they want user to select from, so it would require 50+ fields for each Cost field( currently have 6 Cost fields) + a "total cost" field for each row... that is a LOT of fields and rules to create...

    I then thought about having a conversion table built into the form to do a currency conversion and they could just copy/Paste the the conversion to US Dollars in the Cost fields.
    I found a step by step tutorial to do that:
    Part 1
    Part 2

    The issue I am having is, using those steps no matter what Country I select from the first drop down, the conversion is always "Negative" when converted to US and always the same.

    Example..  if I enter 150 in the Amount field and select AUD for the "From" field, the US Dollar conversion is  -150 .. If I select any other country it is the same value( -150) .

    Any ideas on why that is happening, or other ides to provide the results the user is asking for?
