A heartfelt thank you to everyone on the VBA Automation for Excel 2019 Cookbook team. No book is ever written by just one person. There are four people that I've worked with very closely and for whom I have much appreciation. Thank you, Karan, for making me feel welcome during those first days of writing an outline and signing contracts. To Rohit, for patiently introducing me to a new style of writing, and Ruvika, for her persistence when schedules became tight. Lastly, a special word of thanks to Prajakta, the watchful Project Manager who kept us all on our toes.
