Hello everybody! I want to loop through a worksheet which contains inserted TextBoxes.

However, the "name" of TextBoxes don't follow each other in a logical way (not 1,2,3..., 100 and so on) It shows sometimes some skipp: 2-3-4, 6-7-8, 10-11-12 because of the paste)

I try to skipp the textbox if it doesn't exist. For example TextBox 1 doesn't exist, but 2-3 and 4 exist.

Why cant my code skip "Textbox 1"? It accepts it if it would exist.

Thank you very much for your help, it means a lot to me! Have a nice day!




Code:
sub test()
[B]
For i = 1 To 1000 Step 1 [/B]


On Error Resume Next


[B]If[/B] IsNull(ActiveSheet.Shapes("TextBox " & i)) = False Then [B][COLOR=#008000]'Textbox 1 doesn't exist, but code doesn't skips here. Why?[/COLOR][/B]
             k=k+1
            ActiveSheet.Shapes("TextBox " & i).TextFrame.Characters.Text = Worksheets("2").Cells(k, "A").Value
[B]end if[/B]

[B]next


[/B]
end sub

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
I tried several methods, and I have tried 1 of the 2 links before.

I would need a suggestion especially in my case, looping through them using for loop and not for each. Thank you very much
