OK. After I do that do I need to publish all over again ?. Then insert the new URL in "gadget.js".
Also if I want to put same thing on another computer do I have to start all over from fresh or can I use same published URL ?.
Can't tell you enough how much I appreciate all the help.
Many many thanks.

You are welcome!

You don't need to publish the spreadsheet again. If you want to put the same thing on another computer, just use the same published URL.

Thank you. This works well for me for the values. I guess you'd also have to change the charts.js significantly for the charts to work.

I expect you may have seen tomazov has posted a "1.5" version that uses:

getDataURL('https://finance.google.com/finance/converter?a=1&from=' + currencyName0.value +'&to='+ currencyName1.value);

Available here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17DGKWgh5imybZ6xICgbatV1rkKzmV6n5/edit

This has the limitation that only one currency pair is allowed per widget but the charts work too.

Edit: Just for info, I copied the charts.js, charts.html, and charts.css from the 1.5 files into the 1.4 directory and now have a fully functional multi currency widget again. Thanks all.

Hello
Thank you for this huge job.

I have a question and I wish you to help me.

By copying the code of the file "gadget.js" into http://unminify.com/ and clicking on "Unminify", I have the message "ERROR" "Unexpected error." and all stops. so I can not go to the next step.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I had the same error. You don't need it though. The 1.5 version of the code is already unminified and you can take advantage of the charts code too. See my post above.
