Provide an option to output results in local currency for the Monthly Performance reports

I run the Monthly Performance - Consumption vs Target and the Monthly Performance - Consumption and Cost vs Target and Budget reports regularly but one big disadvantage is the results are normalised to US dollars whereas I need to see the results in local currency. Therefore,  I have to run the Extract for Currency Rates report aswell in order to convert to local currency in excel.  Can an option be included when selecting the report parameters to display results in either Local Currency or US Dollars.  It should be straightforward given an option exists in the Monthly Data Summary report to display results in multiple currencies, including local currency.

    Hi James, for the first report (Monthly performance - consumption vs Target) currency info is not relevant as there is no cost field. Any "USD" values shown (ie for spend data types) are from the primary measure which is considered activity data and not cost information so is not subject to currency conversions in Envizi.

    For the second report it appears that the output of the cost fields has changed as this was previously always in local currency. These two reports were built using a deprecated report writer so making changes is quite challenging. The filters available to our other standard reports are not always supported in reports written with the deprecated report writer. I will raise a bug ticket with the Dev team to see if this can be addressed.
