It would be much faster to select a currency which is not a "common currency symbol" if I could add it as a "favourite" or sth like that.
It is time consuming to change a format of 10 measures each time having to search for PLN for example.

RE: Faster currency selection

Yes - need to have a favourite or option for a user to add to Common Currency Symbols.

I believe there are a lot of duplicate entries in here as well. It needs a good cleaning out.
For example no difference between $ English (New Zealand) and $ Maori (New Zealand)

RE: Faster currency selection

At least add the option to show recently used currency / last used currency.

RE: Faster currency selection

1. Look at designing user's location and suggest currency.
2. Analyse the report to figure out most common currency used.
3. Let user mark favourites.
4. Let user type code to lookup at worst.
5. Otherwise default to American dollar.

Please add functionality to add currency to Common Currency Symbol, Highly required.

Come on, it's 2018.

Scrolling through 100000000 currencies is horrible experience.

Has this functionality been added yet? Would save a lot of time!

RE: Faster currency selection

Not just currency but any data format. How about just letting us enter custom format code similar to excel

RE: Faster currency selection

In the last 3 years, I scrolled more than a hundred times in the currency list and I never used any common currency. Adding a checkbox for "favorite" currency would be a great idea.

RE: Faster currency selection

That is very good idea. That is time-consuming to search every single time one currency.
