Hi I have a following issue, I am using a VBA code as per below, which allows me to select multiple options from the drop down list. However the problem is if I make a mistake in selection, I cannot partially delete. When I try to partially delete the selection, after deleting and pressing enter, the cell auto populates additional numbers randomly. Only way to clear at the moment is to delete all selection or select empty cell option from drop down list. This is can become quite an issue if I need to select up to say 15 items from the list and then end up making mistake and have to start over. Is there a way to allow partial deletion up to i.e. if I have selected 1, 3, 25, 36 - I can just delete up to the coma ie. 1, 3, 25 and continue selecting again?

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

'Code by Sumit Bansal from https://trumpexcel.com
' To make mutliple selections in a Drop Down List in Excel

Dim Oldvalue As String
Dim Newvalue As String

On Error GoTo Exitsub
If Target.Address = "$C$2" 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
            Target.Value = Oldvalue & ", " & Newvalue
        End If
    End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exitsub:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Thank you

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
