It works, but it is not an implementation of the ODFF CONVERT function
(which CONVERT_ADD is). It takes its conversion factors from the
configuration, predefined are the Euro conversions (the function
predates the EUROCONVERT function), but also others are possible. See
online help for 'CONVERT function', an example is
=CONVERT(100;"EUR";"DEM")
