I am working on a demo with multiple notebooks, and I really need this. For instance to keep all loading and cleaning of data in one notebook as functions, and call them from other notebooks to do the analysis. Without this functionality mistakes are easily made as having to maintain the same code in more than one place

This can be done by writing the functions to a file in your working directory, and then simply importing them into another notebook. Greg and I explained how to do this in #winroom

It would be great to have the possibility to add our personal library to include function we use the most
