    Custom Ribbon For Just One Workbook?

    If I make a custom ribbon, adding whatever macros or commands I like, is it possible to have the tab for that ribbon show up only in that single workbook and not in other workbooks? I want to do several custom ribbons for several different workbooks and not have a whole series of extra tabs at the top of the page.

    Hi there,

    If you incorporate Ribbon XML into a workbook, the Ribbon defined by that XML is available only to that workbook (even if other workbooks are open in the same Excel session).

    Customising the Ribbon by right-clicking on the Ribbon and selecting the "Customize the Ribbon . . ." option creates a Ribbon which applies to any Excel session and will therefore be visible to any workbook.

    Regards,

    Greg M

    Hi Greg,

    I know this is years old by now but I am wondering if there is any way to solve this article now since the link you have provided no longer works.
