Hi all!

I tried to organize my macros and added 1 extra file to XLSTART folder. I had already my PERSONAL there. But now Excel opens blank. Any idea how to fix it? Can 2 files in XLSTART do any harm?

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
The general principle when something like this goes wrong is to undo the last thing you did. So if you remove the extra file from XLSTART as a test, do things go back to normal?

Yes, it does. It means that there is no way to keep two files at the same time?

I'd say it has more to do with the 2nd file superseding the default blank template. You implied that the 2nd file had something to do with organizing your macros. Why do you need to do that? Perhaps you are creating needless problems for yourself and it would be better to put all your macros in PERSONAL.XLSB.
