Why there is not an activity with the sentence for?
I just see the activities for each and for each row
However, It wiil be great that cycle for will be Integrated
for x=10 to 5 step -1

Why not just use a while loop instead?
Because FOR is easier and it doesn’t need an instruction additional as the while (the increment)
For is more direct than while
Yes that’s fair enough. I seem to remember thinking that 2 years ago. I
guess we have just got used to it the way it is. Worth an ask though!
Moved to Ideas.
I remember this topic was somewhere on the old forums… maybe it got lost during migration. Either way there was a reason for it not being there (aside of MS not providing one, that is), but I can’t recall it - @badita ?
Yes, it is easier but not easy to implement (it can take multiple types as input). There are other bigger issues right now.
In my opinion I don’t think a for loop should be implemented. You should use For Each as much as possible because it helps you with developments. In those cases where a for each is not possible just use a while. Like @badita mentioned there are bigger issues right now.
You can use the available For Each activity with an input like this: Enumerable.Range(start, count)
, which generates a list of count
sequential integers starting at start
. To obtain your specific loop you could use Enumerable.Range(5, 6).Reverse
. Admittedly, it doesn’t look as nice as the real loop, but it does the trick. Alternatively, the Community version now has a Code activity to allow putting arbitrary VB code into workflows.
