I have a workbook with 2 sheets in it

Sheet2 Name = Payment

In Sheet(Vendor) I have details of the vendor base of my organisation

In Sheet(Payment) if I enter Vendor Code in any cell in Column D the VBA code should look Sheet(Vendor) for the vendor code and list the sites of the vendor in drop down list in Column H

        Dim wk1 As Worksheet
        Set wk1 = Sheets("Vendor")
        Dim V
        Dim K As Long
        
        On Error Resume Next
        With wk1
                V = .Range("A2:B" & .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
                For K = 1 To UBound(V, 1)
                       If V(K, 1) = Finder.Value Then
                            SearchString = SearchString & "," & V(K, 2)
                        End If
                Next K
        End With

                Target.Offset(0, 4).Validation.Delete           'it will clear all of the previous validations in the column H
                Target.Offset(0, 4).ClearContents
                Lookupstuff Target, Temp
                ActiveSheet.Range(Target.Offset(0, 4).Address(0, 0)).Validation.Add xlValidateList, , , Temp

                For K = 1 To UBound(V, 1)
                       If V(K, 1) = Finder.Value Then
                            SearchString = SearchString & "," & V(K, 2)
                        End If

                Target.Offset(0, 4).Validation.Delete           'it will clear all of the previous validations in the column H
                Target.Offset(0, 4).ClearContents
                Lookupstuff Target, Temp
                ActiveSheet.Range(Target.Offset(0, 4).Address(0, 0)).Validation.Add xlValidateList, , , Temp
