Hello,
The vba code will export the tables to a new opened workbook, and after getting the result, you just need to save the workbook to your desired location.
please have a try, hope this can help you!

I found a bug with this that I have not been able to resolve.

If I multi-select two emails, one with a single table and one with three tables, and run the code, Outlook crashes. But I noticed it is very specific to the order that the emails are initially selected.

1. For example if I click on the email with the three tables first, then ctrl-click the email with one table, the code runs without error.

2. If I do #1 first, then re-select the emails, this time click on the email with one table, then ctrl-click the email with three tables, it also run w/o error

3. Now if I close and restart Outlook and first click on the email with one table, then ctrl-click the email with three tables, Outlook crashes.

I also notice that when it does crash, it does it after it has copied/pasted the second table and before it does the third. In fact it doesn't even make it to the 'For I = 1 To xDoc.Tables.Count' to get the third table.

The tables are 43 rows and 7 columns. There is not other text in the emails and I removed all data from the tables, so it is not related to the data in them. I tried removed rows and at some point it will start working, but not sure what that is telling me.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Hi, Blessy，

If you just need to import the tables with specific subject, you should apply the below VBA code. First, you need to select the email with the subject you need, and then run this code. Please try.

Sub ImportTableToExcelBySubject()
Dim xMailItem As MailItem
Dim xTable As Word.Table
Dim xDoc As Word.Document
Dim xExcel As Excel.Application
Dim xWb As Workbook
Dim xWs As Worksheet
Dim I As Integer
Dim xRow As Integer
Dim xFileDialog As FileDialog
On Error Resume Next
Set xExcel = New Excel.Application
Set xFileDialog = xExcel.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
xFileDialog.Filters.Add "Excel Workbook", "*.xls*", 1
If xFileDialog.Show = 0 Then Exit Sub
Set xWb = xExcel.Workbooks.Open(xFileDialog.SelectedItems(1))
Set xWs = xWb.Worksheets(1)
xExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
xRow = 1
For Each xMailItem In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
If InStr(xMailItem.Subject, "Backup Status today") > 0 Then
Set xDoc = xMailItem.GetInspector.WordEditor
For I = 1 To xDoc.Tables.Count
Set xTable = xDoc.Tables(I)
xTable.Range.Copy
xWs.Paste
xRow = xRow + xTable.Rows.Count + 1
xWs.Range("A" & CStr(xRow)).Select
Next
End If
Next
xWb.Save
xExcel.DisplayAlerts = True
xExcel.Visible = True
End Sub
