Excel VBA Question

[Thelingly95]

How would you create a pop out box when you click on a cell? It would contain all of the information in the cell, but would display it in a larger box.

One way would be to use a comment....so, click on the cell in question....go to the Insert Tab, then select the Comment item.
Fill in the required data in the text window.
Then next time you click on that cell the comment window will open.

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

One way might be this, but it could become very annoying.
To implement ..
1. Right click the sheet name tab and choose "View Code".
2. Copy and Paste the code below into the main right hand pane that opens at step 1.
3. Close the Visual Basic window & test.
4. Your workbook will need to be saved as a macro-enabled workbook (*.xlsm).

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
  With Selection
    If .Count = 1 Then
      If Not IsEmpty(.Value) Then MsgBox .Value
    End If
  End With
End Sub

A variation to make it less annoying might be to restrict the actions to a particular range or column. For example, only if it is column E

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
  With Selection
    If .Count = 1 And .Column = 5 Then
      If Not IsEmpty(.Value) Then MsgBox .Value
    End If
  End With
End Sub

Another variation might be to only show the message box if the cell contents is longer than a certain number of characters.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
  With Selection
    If .Count = 1 Then
      If Len(.Value) > 50 Then MsgBox .Value
    End If
  End With
End Sub
