So I have a dropdown menu in column A and B. With the next code, I change the content based on the selected value. Both codes work and don't give an error.
However... If I add or delete a row, Excel crashes. I found out that the second part of the code causes this. (so the code for column A)
Both codes active: Crash
Only code for column A active: Crash
Only code for column B active: fine.
Why? The only problem I can think of is that when you right-click to add a row, it automatically selects the entire row, which activates the first cell (in column A) which might mess with the code.
How can I fix this?

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

On Error GoTo fout
    'om de inhoud van de cel aan te passen na een keuze door dropdown in de kolom TAG
    selectedNa = Target.Value
    If Target.Column = 2 Then
       selectedNum = Application.VLookup(selectedNa, Worksheets("Dropdown").Range("LookUp"), 2, False)
        If Not IsError(selectedNum) Then
            Target.Value = selectedNum
        End If
    End If
'---------------------------------------------------------
    'om de inhoud van de cel aan te passen na een keuze door dropdown in de kolom Systeem
    selectedNa2 = Target.Value
    If Target.Column = 1 Then
       selectedNum2 = Application.VLookup(selectedNa2, Worksheets("Dropdown").Range("LookUp2"), 2, False)
        If Not IsError(selectedNum2) Then
            Target.Value = selectedNum2
        End If
    End If
'----------------------------------------------------------
Exit sub
fout:
   Target.Value = ""
    Exit Sub
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
Your routine is only going to work if 1 cell is selected, so make one of you first lines:
VBA Code:
    If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
