To convert from Local Currency to Group Currency, you first need to associate each country with its corresponding local currency. This effectively adds a currency dimension to the data ([BY: →  ‘G2 Country’.Currency])

Once the currency dimension is in place, you can apply the appropriate FX rates by multiplying the local amounts by the relevant exchange rates (*'DH_FX Rates')

After the conversion is completed, the currency dimension can be removed, leaving the values expressed consistently in Group Currency ([REMOVE: Currency])

Hi Houssem,

 

Just adding onto Youssef’s answer, about the “nexus” step: it’s usually asking you to build a small bridge/mapping so Country-level values can correctly pick Currency-level FX rates (or align two dimensions that don’t match). It’s essentially the object that connects “Country” to “Currency” so the FX lookup works consistently. The list of metrics are what is needed for you to build the Nexus and Currency conversion metrics.
