I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and the installation overwrote my old personal.xlsb file erasing all the macros I had stored there. Additionally, when I start Excel now the personal.xlsb file does not open. When I go to the XLSTART folder, the file is there. I open it from the XLSTART folder and it opens in this weird format that doesn't even show the rows and columns. Using ALT + F11 opens the macro editor and you can see that the personal.xlsb file is open, but I don't understand the format. I haven't found a good explanation online so any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Check the View Tab and unhide to see if you can unhide the Personal Workbook.

I learnt a number of years ago to export my personal workbook (actually all from every workbook) models into a VBA folder which I can retrieve.
