# 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.&#x20;

[Functions in Python are similiar to formulas in Excel](https://blog.trymito.io/functions/).&#x20;

## 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.&#x20;

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&#x20;

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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.trymito.io/how-to/using-the-generated-code/turn-generated-code-into-functions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
