Add Deselect VBA Coding for Multiselect Dropdown

[SHG0303]

Hello. I am using the following VBA code which created multi select, comma separated in specific columns, however I also want the option to be able to deselect values you have already selected rather than having to delete all the values in the cell and having to start again, can some please help? Thank you so much for any help offered, I'm completely stuck.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Oldvalue As String
Dim Newvalue As String
Application.EnableEvents = True
On Error GoTo Exitsub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("I:I,J:J,K:K,L:L,W:W,X:X,AI:AI,AT:AT,AU:AU,AV:AV,AW:AW,BA:BA,BB:BB,BC:BC")) Is Nothing Then
  If Target.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation) Is Nothing Then
    GoTo Exitsub
  Else: If Target.Value = "" Then GoTo Exitsub Else
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Newvalue = Target.Value
    Application.Undo
    Oldvalue = Target.Value
      If Oldvalue = "" Then
        Target.Value = Newvalue
      Else
        If InStr(1, Oldvalue, Newvalue) = 0 Then
            Target.Value = Oldvalue & "," & Newvalue
      Else:
        Target.Value = Oldvalue
      End If
    End If

Try this code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    Dim OldValue As String
    Dim NewValue As String
    Dim p1 As Long, p2 As Long

    If Target.Value = "" Then Exit Sub

    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("I:I,J:J,K:K,L:L,W:W,X:X,AI:AI,AT:AT,AU:AU,AV:AV,AW:AW,BA:BA,BB:BB,BC:BC")) Is Nothing Then
    
        If Not Target.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation) Is Nothing Then
    
            Application.EnableEvents = False
            
            NewValue = Target.Value
            Application.Undo
            OldValue = Target.Value
            
            If OldValue = "" Then
                Target.Value = NewValue
            Else
                If InStr(1, OldValue, NewValue) = 0 Then
                    'Append new value
                    Target.Value = OldValue & "," & NewValue
                Else
                    'Remove already selected value
                    p1 = InStr("," & OldValue & ",", "," & NewValue & ",")
                    p2 = p1 + Len("," & NewValue & ",")
                    If p1 = 1 Then
                        'Remove from start
                        OldValue = Mid(OldValue, p2 - 2)
                    ElseIf p1 + Len("," & NewValue & ",") = Len("," & OldValue & ",") + 1 Then
                        'Remove from end
                        OldValue = Left(OldValue, p1 - 3)
                    ElseIf p1 > 1 Then
                        'Remove from middle
                        OldValue = Left(OldValue, p1 - 1) & Mid(OldValue, p2 - 2)
                    End If
                    Target.Value = OldValue
                End If
            End If
            
            Application.EnableEvents = True
            
        End If
    
    End If

End Sub

Try this code:

    If Target.Value = "" Then Exit Sub

        If Not Target.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation) Is Nothing Then

                    p1 = InStr("," & OldValue & ",", "," & NewValue & ",")
                    p2 = p1 + Len("," & NewValue & ",")
                    If p1 = 1 Then
                        'Remove from start
                        OldValue = Mid(OldValue, p2 - 2)
                    ElseIf p1 + Len("," & NewValue & ",") = Len("," & OldValue & ",") + 1 Then
                        'Remove from end
                        OldValue = Left(OldValue, p1 - 3)
                    ElseIf p1 > 1 Then
                        'Remove from middle
                        OldValue = Left(OldValue, p1 - 1) & Mid(OldValue, p2 - 2)
                    End If
                    Target.Value = OldValue
                End If
            End If
           
            Application.EnableEvents = True
           
        End If
   
    End If

End Sub

Feels close to what I need. However, if one manually backspaces on the first value, the incorrect info will be shown. Users might manually try to put info/backspace vs using dropdown (user error) - and I’m trying to account for this.
