Notes

  • Fetches the standard rate from smbs.biz (Seoul Money Brokerage) over HTTP — a network connection is required.
  • If no rate is published for the date, it looks back up to 10 days (holidays).
  • CNY is mapped to CNH automatically. Registered non-macro and thread-safe for parallel recalculation.
  • An array in the currency and date returns #VALUE! — for multiple items, copy the formula down row by row.
  • Supported: Excel 2010+. Always registered as EXRATE on every Excel version.
