Select Conversion Type (Business Intelligence Wizard) (SSAS)
Use the Select Conversion Type page to define the relationship between local currencies and reporting currencies for transactions stored in multiple currencies. A local currency is the currency in which the transactions for measures selected in the Select Measures page are stored. A reporting currency is the currency in which the transactions selected in the Select Measures page are translated.
