# Turn generated code into functions

## Why convert the Mito generated code to a function

Functions make it easy to reuse the code you generated over and over again. In particular, they make it easy to apply the same code to multiple data sets. 

[Functions in Python are similiar to formulas in Excel](https://blog.trymito.io/functions/). 

## How to convert Mito generated code to a function

If you're a Mito Enterprise user, you can have Mito automatically generate code as Python functions. 

1. Open the `Code` tab in the toolbar.
2. Click on `Configure Code`
3. In the taskpane, toggle `Generate Function` on
4. Give the function a name

The Mito generated code will automatically update to generate a function. As you continue to edit the Mito spreadsheet, the function will update.
