I have Text Boxes that I would like to move based on the values in Column A. The values in Column A change as new data is added. What I would like is for the Text Boxes to move the correct row based on the value in Column A. The lookup values for Column A will come from a Named Range/Table. To help clarify, I have names in Column A with new names added regularly that are sorted alphabetically. I have a separate list of some of those names that have a Text Box(es) associated with it. As the new names are added, I would like the text box(es) to move with the name. The The Text Boxes are in Columns for eg. E & F. The reason I am using Text Boxes is because the data itself is in a Pivot table. As the Pivot Table grows with new names, I want the Text Boxes to follow.

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
So I got the textbox to move to a specified column and row, which I set manually for now. Now I need to search for names in a range and move the textboxes to the corresponding row where those names exists in column 1.

VBA Code:
Sub MoveTextBox()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim textBox As Shape
    Dim targetRow As Integer
    Dim targetColumn As Integer
    
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
    
    targetRow = 5 ' Change to the desired row number
    targetColumn = 6 ' Change to the desired column number
    
    Dim leftPos As Double
    leftPos = ws.Cells(targetRow, targetColumn).Left
    
    Dim topPos As Double
    topPos = ws.Cells(targetRow, targetColumn).Top
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Set textBox = ws.Shapes("TextBox1")
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    If Not textBox Is Nothing Then
        
        With textBox
            .Left = leftPos
            .Top = topPos
          End With
    Else
        MsgBox "Text box not found."
        
    End If
End Sub
