Hi all,

As you probably know, displaying text data arranged/aligned in straight columns inside the standard vba MsgBox is extremely difficult. I personally have never seen this done before... Calculating the msgbox font size is a nightmare.

Here, I am using a few api-based workarounds to achieve that effect.

Essencially, you simply call the BuildTabFormat routine right before displaying the standard vba MsgBox and voila! ... Very easy to use!

The BuildTabFormat routine takes arguments for displaying the tabular data (either from an excel range or from a 2D array) and an argument to display a small optional description text ... The routine can also allow for optionally changing the text color and the spacing between the columns.

Another cool thing is that when the data is too large, the MsgBox automatically diplays vertical and/or horizonatl scrollbars so the user can navigate the entire data.

Please, note that although the code subclasses the MsgBox, It should be safe and stable.

I hope you find this useful.

Testd only in Excel 2016 x64 Windows10 x64
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Another brilliant ideea!!!!
Tested in 365 - 32 and 64b
Excellent!!!!

Thanks very much for the feedback. (y)

I discovered a small stealth bug in the code above (Resulting in the blank space separating the tabular data and the description text running accross the top being too large).

I have now slightly updated the code to fix this bug.

Download (Bug Fixed):
TabularVBAMsgBox.xlsm

Also, the demo gif above will probably expire soon as I was not logged in the hosting site, so I am re-uploading it here ( As we can see, now the space between text accross the top and the table has been reasonably reduced and looks much better)

2 - Code Usage Examples: (As per the workbook demo in the link above)
VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Sub Example1()

    'Data taken from medium-size range.
    Dim vTable() As Variant
    Dim sTableDescription As String
   
    vTable = Range("A5:C20")
   
    sTableDescription = "This is an example of a medium-sized data set."
   
    Call BuildTabFormat( _
        DataArray:=vTable, _
        TableDescription:=sTableDescription, _
        IsArrayExcelRange:=True _
    )
   
    MsgBox String(1024&, vbKeyTab), vbOKCancel + vbInformation

End Sub

Sub Example2()

    'Data taken from larger size range.
    Dim vTable() As Variant
    Dim sTableDescription As String
   
    vTable = Range("A5:H46")
   
    sTableDescription = "This is an example of a large-sized data set" & _
    " taken from an excel range and displayed in a tabular format." & vbNewLine & _
    "The tabular data automatically provides scrollbars for navigating the entire data." & vbNewLine & _
    vbNewLine & "The color of the text is also set different to the default black."
   
    Call BuildTabFormat( _
        DataArray:=vTable, _
        IsArrayExcelRange:=True, _
        TableDescription:=sTableDescription, _
        TextColor:=vbBlue _
    )
   
    MsgBox String(1024&, vbKeyTab), vbOKCancel + vbExclamation

End Sub

Sub Example3()

    'Data taken from array.

On the previous submission I noticed on Example 3 that this happened but now it is happening on all three examples.

I fixed it with an '& vbCrLf' at the end of the title on the last line before but it does not work now.

Are you passing 1024 TAB characters when calling the MsgBox ?

MsgBox String(1024&, vbKeyTab), vbOKCancel + vbExclamation
