How do you handle currency differences? (6)
Like if its pounds in your Google/Bing/pof Account, but the affiliate network is in us dollars. Other than doing your own mental calculations are there any mods in prosper that does this automatically or is there mods on prosper or does cpvlab have a feature like this ..????
Not sure on it, but I will follow any replies, as it's a pain in the ass for me also..
I've an excel sheet set up with some cell formula, which I can just input the current exchange rate to get an idea from my prosper stats.. but it would be ace to see this in prosper or a.n.other solution.
I'm not aware of any 202 or cpvlab mods, I just do it manually. Would be nice to know if there was something out there.
For sure, I just do it manually too. If there is an easy fix I'm open to it, but it really doesn't take too long to take a quick check at xe.com and figure out stats from there 
Personally, I'm in the "spreadsheet" camp too. xe.com is my friend
However, if you wanted to look at converting the figures in Prosper into/out of a specific currency, you could probably use a Greasemonkey script to do it. This one, for example, might do at least some of what you're looking for.
(How to install Greasemonkey)
Well, if you use S2S pixels you could potentially setup a script that records conversions with attached data like currency, traffic source, offer etc and saves it to a database. Then have some frontend for logging spend data from traffic sources with a specific timezone and currency declared. Then you could use something like PHP/SWF Charts to display the spend/revenue data on a per-traffic source basis and use Googles currency conversion API to display each in the same currency.
It seems relatively simple to me but you'd need someone to code it and in the end doing it manually is probably the safest way. FYI I think Xero lets you connect PayPal accounts to monitor transactions and can do real-time currency conversion, perhaps they could show transactions from one account + deposits into another with some filtering magic and so on. Could always ask them, they are in the business of helping people keep track of finances after all.
