"Importing" functions from other notebooks

For the sake of organization, I would like to define a few functions in notebook A, and have notebook B have access to those functions in notebook A. Having everything in one notebook makes it look very cluttered. Is this possible?

This is something I've been grappling with as well. My current 'solution' is to have separate notebooks with a function in each one (organized in a 'Functions' directory). Then I load the function into memory in another notebook by loading that notebook with single function.

It's not very elegant but at least the function called exists only in a single location.

I'd like to know if there is better way to do this. My current implementation is workable but far from the ideal.

Edit: this is the forum question/answer concerning the loading of a notebook within a notebook: https://forums.databricks.com/questions/154/can-i-run-one-notebook-from-another-notebook.html

it is too old thread but @Rich Iannone​  can we have the code i mean how you have done it

Old thread, but I wrote a module to do just this. Check it out: https://pypi.org/project/libify/

(Utilizes dbutils.notebook.run, so doesn't work with the Databricks community edition)
