Hello, this VBA code will work sometimes, but does not work others. It seems to delete the reference labels & text (Text0 and xLabel0) occasionally when ran (not always). I have confirmed that these values are not found within Worksheets("PoAP (Data)"), so I am unsure why they are disappearing....

The code does the following:
i: Shapes
- Delete all shapes currently with Names (i.e. Shape1, Shape2, Shape3, etc)
- Select, Copy, Paste Shape based on Name of reference shape (i.e. Icon1, Icon2, Icon3, etc)
- Select & Name newly pasted Shape (i.e. Shape1, Shape2, Shape3, etc)
- Resize, Recolor, and Move shape to correct location
- Repeat for i+1

j: Axis Labels
- Delete all labels currently with Names (i.e. xLabel1, xLabel2, xLabel3, etc)
- Select, Copy, Paste Shape based on reference shape (xLabel0)
- Select & Name newly pasted label (i.e. xLabel1, xLabel2, xLabel3, etc)
- Resize, Add Text, and Move label to correct location
- Repeat for j+1

k: Task Text
- Delete all text currently with Names (i.e.Text1, Text2, Text3, etc)
- Select, Copy, Paste Shape based on reference shape (Text0)
- Select & Name newly pasted text (i.e.Text1, Text2, Text3, etc)
- Resize, Add Text, and Move text to correct location
- Repeat for k+1

Code:
Sub PAoP3()Dim i As Integer
i = 3


Do While Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 5).Value <> ""
Dim R As Integer
Dim G As Integer
Dim B As Integer
R = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 6)
G = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 7)
B = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 8)
    Sheets("Sheet3").Select


On Error Resume Next
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 4).Value).Delete
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 5).Value).Select
    Selection.Copy
    ActiveSheet.Paste
Selection.Name = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 4)
With ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 4)).Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(R, G, B)
        .Transparency = 0
        .Solid
End With
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 4)).width = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 12).Value
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 4)).height = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 11).Value
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 4)).Left = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 9)
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 4)).Top = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(i, 10)
    i = i + 1
Loop


Dim j As Integer
j = 2


Do While Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(j, 49).Value <> ""
    Sheets("Sheet3").Select
    
    On Error Resume Next
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(j, 48).Value).Delete
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("xLabel0").Select
    Selection.Copy
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Selection.Name = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(j, 48)
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(j, 48)).DrawingObject.Text = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(j, 50)
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(j, 48)).Left = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(j, 51) - 25
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(j, 48)).Top = 7
    j = j + 1
Loop




Dim k As Integer
k = 3
Do While Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 4).Value <> ""
    Sheets("Sheet3").Select
    
    On Error Resume Next
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 16).Value).Delete
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Text0").Select
    Selection.Copy
    ActiveSheet.Paste
Selection.Name = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 16)
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 16)).DrawingObject.Text = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 3)
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 16)).width = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 18).Value
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 16)).height = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 17).Value
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 16)).Left = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 13)
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 16)).Top = Worksheets("PoAP (Data)").Cells(k, 14)
    k = k + 1
Loop


End Sub

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Are Text0 and xLabel0 text and label or shapes? You wrote "the reference labels & text (Text0 and xLabel0)". So, they seems to be text and label. Yet, you have "ActiveSheet.Shapes("Text0").Select" and "ActiveSheet.Shapes("xLabel0").Select". Now, they seem to be shapes.
