Default Saving the Macro for all workbooks

If you're trying to use a function that you created and stored in personal.xls
in a cell in a worksheet, you'd use something like:

=personal.xls!yourfunctionnamehere(...)

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the replying back. I was able to find the Personal.xls file and i
had added the code in the module also but when i tried to use it some other
workbook it didn't worked.

Can you please help me out how to go about it.

Personal.xls.

Personal.xls is located in the XLStart directory, and is used to store
macros and
things that you want to be available to all workbooks, whenever you start
Excel.

By default, it is hidden in Excel, but if you go to the VBE, you use it as
you can
with any other open workbook (you don't have to unhide it).

You can create it by
- goto ToolsMacrosRecord New Macro...
- Choose Personal Macro Workbook form the dropdown
- OK
- click the Stop button on the toolbar that pops-up

You now have a Personal.xls workbook. It is not visible though, it is hidden
by default (WindowsUnhide)
