Hi Everyone

I have a conditional drop down list where a user can choose a course and a pathway which works fine.
The problem is one of the courses (IT) has an additional drop down list (column c), the problem is when the course in the first column is changed ( changed to Maths for example) column c is not clearing.

This is the VBA code i have that clears column B if column A changes.
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A4:B18")) Is Nothing Then Target.Offset(columnoffset:=1).ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Try this:

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  Application.EnableEvents = False
  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A4:B18")) Is Nothing Then
    With Target.Offset(0, 1)
      If Target.Column = 1 Then .Resize(1, 2).ClearContents Else .ClearContents
    End With
  End If
  Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Thank you that does work but i forgot to add something in.

I am trying to adapt the code given above to this spreadsheet but for some reason if a value in column N is changed the value in column P does not delete.
(Note, only "Insurance Practitioner Level 3" in col O and any of the options in O will trigger a value needed in P.
