PERSONAL.XLSB

Personal macro workbook as a function library

PERSONAL.XLSB loads automatically with Excel. This lets you keep custom VBA functions in one place and use them in many files without copying code into every workbook.

1 One place for codeSave functions once in PERSONAL.XLSB and call them later like normal worksheet formulas.
2 Good for technical dataIt helps most with part descriptions, standards, dimensions, ERP exports and text cleanup.
3 No LET and no test filesThe example shows the result in a quasi Excel view, but here you download a VBA module, not a ready XLSX.

How to add a function to PERSONAL.XLSB

1 Open Excel and press Alt + F11.
2 Find the PERSONAL.XLSB project. If it is missing, record a short macro and choose the personal macro workbook as the target.
3 Insert a module via Insert → Module or import the downloaded .bas file.
4 Paste the function code, save PERSONAL.XLSB and restart Excel if the function is not visible immediately.
