Frequently asked questions
Where does Cobalt source exchange rates?
Cobalt pulls exchange rates from the Fixer.io API. Fixer collects rate data from more than 15 reliable sources every minute, including banks and financial data providers.
Cobalt ingests these rates at the daily level and applies currency conversion daily. Native currency on ad accounts is never converted.
How often does Cobalt update conversion data?
Cobalt pulls new conversion rates from Fixer.io once per day. Each day's rate is stored and used to convert that day's data.
How does Cobalt convert historical data in Market Analysis?
In Market Analysis, every data point is converted using the exchange rate from the day that data was recorded, not a single flat rate applied across all time. When you view a multi-month or multi-year trend in a non-native currency, each day's revenue is converted at that day's rate and then summed.
This is the standard accounting approach for historical reporting. It preserves the true value of revenue at the time it was earned.
Why does the same Market Analysis trend look different in USD vs. EUR?
Because historical data is converted at historical rates, a Market Analysis trend shown in a non-native currency reflects two things at once: the actual change in sales, and the change in the exchange rate between the source currency and the display currency over the same period.
When an exchange rate moves meaningfully over the window you're analyzing, the two views can show different magnitudes of growth, or even move in opposite directions.
Simplified example. A segment with sales recorded in USD, viewed in EUR:
| Year | Sales (USD) | Avg USD to EUR | Sales (EUR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $100 | 0.95 | €95 |
| 2025 | $110 | 0.80 | €88 |
In USD, sales grew +10%. In EUR, sales fell -7%. Same business, same underlying data. The dollar weakened against the euro over the period, so the EUR view absorbs that currency movement into the trend.
Tip: To evaluate true business performance, view the data in its native currency. To evaluate performance as it would appear on a financial statement in your reporting currency, use the converted view. If a converted trend looks surprising, check how the exchange rate moved over the same window before assuming the underlying sales changed.
How do I change the currency displayed in Cobalt?
Click the currency selector at the bottom of the left-hand navigation and choose a different currency. The change applies across dashboards and views.
Can I display multiple currencies on the same dashboard?
Not at this time. Each dashboard or view displays a single currency, based on the selection in your left-hand navigation. To compare values across currencies, switch the selector and reload the view.
