# Currency Converter Best Practices

Follow these tips to ensure accurate, efficient, and hassle-free currency conversions across your Google Workspace apps.

| Tip | Description |
|-----|-------------|
| **Use valid currency codes** | Always use 3-letter currency codes like USD, EUR, INR, etc. |
| **Use Sheets for historical conversions** | Only the Google Sheets formula supports past date conversions. |
| **Enter numbers only in the sidebar** | Avoid using currency symbols (e.g., $) or commas in the input field. |
| **Refresh the sidebar if needed** | If the add-on becomes unresponsive, click the menu (⁝) > Refresh. |
| **Use the correct date format** | When typing a date manually in the formula, always use YYYY-MM-DD format. |
| **Avoid multiple Google accounts** | Stay logged in with one Google account to prevent access or permission issues. |
| **Keep the add-on updated** | Regular updates ensure the latest features and bug fixes. |
