I have a macro that creates an Outlook email with a table containing data from selected ranges in Excel. However, it does not work for non-contiguous ranges. When user manually types comma or holds CTRL to select multiple ranges, it only grabs the first set of continuous range. How can I make it so the user can select multiple, separate ranges?

Here is my working code:
VBA Code:
Sub Send_Email()
    Dim xRg As Range
    Dim I, J As Long
    Dim xAddress As String
    Dim xEmailBody As String
    Dim xMailOut As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim xOutApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim dtToday As Date
        dtToday = Format(Date, "YYYY/MM/DD")
    
    On Error Resume Next
    xAddress = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Address
    Set xRg = Application.InputBox("Please select range you need to paste into email body", "KuTools For Excel", xAddress, , , , , 8)
    xEmailBody = "<table><table border=1><th>CR</th><th>Assign Date</th><th>Due Date</th><th>Program</th><th>MDE Notes</th><th>DMC</th>"
    
If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set xOutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set xMailOut = xOutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

    For I = 1 To xRg.Rows.Count
        xEmailBody = xEmailBody & "<tr>"
        For J = 1 To xRg.Columns.Count
           xEmailBody = xEmailBody & "<td>" & xRg.Cells(I, J).Value & "</td>"
        Next
        xEmailBody = xEmailBody & "</tr>"
    Next
    xEmailBody = "Hi, <br><br>text text text<br><br>" & xEmailBody & "</table>" & "<br>Best,<br><br>"
              
    With xMailOut
        .To = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Select To email", Type:=8)
        .Subject = "email subject text " & dtToday
        .HTMLBody = xEmailBody
        .Display
    End With
    Set xMailOut = Nothing
    Set xOutApp = Nothing
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Welcome to the MrExcel forum!

Change:

VBA Code:
    For I = 1 To xRg.Rows.Count
        xEmailBody = xEmailBody & "<tr>"
        For J = 1 To xRg.Columns.Count
           xEmailBody = xEmailBody & "<td>" & xRg.Cells(I, J).Value & "</td>"
        Next
        xEmailBody = xEmailBody & "</tr>"
    Next

to:

VBA Code:
    For A = 1 To xRg.Areas.Count
        For I = 1 To xRg.Areas(A).Rows.Count
            xEmailBody = xEmailBody & "<tr>"
            For J = 1 To xRg.Areas(A).Columns.Count
                xEmailBody = xEmailBody & "<td>" & xRg.Areas(A).Cells(I, J).Value & "</td>"
            Next J
            xEmailBody = xEmailBody & "</tr>"
        Next I
    Next A
