This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter how complicated a program is, it is made of many smaller and tiny fundamental working parts of programming code. Each of them accomplishes a specific task. Some may just consist of only one or a few lines of code. Knowing the functions of these fundamental working parts, you can then easily write an unlimited number of working programs. And knowing them, you can easily understand the programs written by others and adopt into your programs the ideas and the efficient code that are presented in those programs. Dissect and Learn Excel VBA in 24 Hours is a series of quick references for intermediate users who are looking for ideas and samples of VBA code to accomplish certain tasks when they are in the process of writing a program. In this series, you will see thousands of tiny working parts of VBA code that are used to accomplish many simple and yet meaningful tasks. To add a new workbook, to auto-fill a range, to sort a table of data, to generate a table of contents for all chart sheets and worksheets in a workbook, to loop through and manipulate a folder of Excel files, to place a control on the Ribbon, to send an email, and to login to an account in the Internet are some examples of these tiny working parts. Book 2: Working with ranges focuses on commonly used operations related to worksheet ranges. Selecting a range, finding the last nonempty cell in a range, retrieving the properties of a range (such as address and font), changing the format of a range, converting formulas in a range to values, conditionally formatting a range, sorting a range, filtering a range, copying a range, and exporting a range out of Excel are some of the operations. To understand better a particular concept discussed in the book, simply copy and paste the sample VBA code stated in the book into the Immediate window or into a standard VBA module, and run the code (or step through the code by using the debugger in VBE). The result is either visible in the Immediate window or in an Excel worksheet. To execute a few lines of code that are not placed in a Sub procedure, simply enclose them in a new procedure in a standard VBA module. You can download the VBA code stated in the book from drive.google.com/file/d/0ByKhn-UYAjlQYm9LNTRWNzl4d2M, or search for any updated URL from the Author Page: amazon.com/Liaw-HockSang/e/B01LX701LY.

Book excerpt: Sending highly relevant, personal, and timely messages to your email list is essential for winning new customers and keeping current ones happy. This Is Personal offers a paradigm-shattering marketing model for meeting customers where they are. Most companies send “one-size-fits-all” communication to everyone in their audience, leading to low engagement on their social media channels and emails left unread in their customers’ inboxes because it’s unclear to recipients how this information helps them.

This Is Personal helps companies better understand the individual needs and identities of their audience, no matter the size, enabling businesses to send better, more relevant emails that generate more opens, more clicks, and, ultimately, more sales. Author Brennan Dunn shares the key strategies for maintaining high-touch, personalized sales relationships and doing so at scale. As a speaker, consultant, and founder of RightMessage, a software company focused on infusing mass marketing with personalization, he has been dialing in on and refining these strategies for years so that you can immediately implement them in your business. He’s discovered that the best tool for this moment is email. Dunn showcases a range of companies who are using personalized email to better connect with their audience, including bakeries, bariatric surgeons, the State of Washington’s tourism board, business coaches, fitness instructors, a heavy metal band, and more. You’ll learn how these businesses have made this transition in their communication strategies and visualize your potential success in theirs.
