Excel addin path

May not belong here but since it is a Windows subject:
I added a third party addin called Xlookup to my two desktops and laptop. Works great.
Problem is, when I take a spreadsheet from one puter to another, it fails to see the addin path because each puter name is different. So I have to mitigate each formula entry.

 

C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns\XLOOKUP.xlam

VS

C:\Users\rlg\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns\XLOOKUP.xlam

Is there a way to keep this from happening other than naming all puters the same?
