However, unlike Excel 2007, users in Excel 2010 can freely customize what is included in the Ribbon, which is a very good feature improvement. For example, you can add new groups and commands to the default tab, or you can create your own tabs, and then customize the common commands that fully meet your needs, and customize the commands by category.

For example, suppose you want to create a tab called my Toolbox that places the tab to the left of the default Start tab. Then add 3 groups to the Custom tab, the group name is divided into document tools, data tools, and calculation tools, and then add some common commands to each group. To complete the customization of the above functional areas, the following actions are:

Start Excel 2010, right-click the Ribbon, and select the custom Ribbon command to open the custom Ribbon interface for the Excel Options dialog box.

Use the same method to rename the default group to the document tool. Then select My Toolbox and click the New Group button two times to add two more groups and rename them to data tools and calculation tools, as shown in the following illustration.
