I realize that this question has been asked and answered previously - however, for the life of me I cannot figure out why the below code isn't working in my case.

My parent drop down list exists in column D (various rows) and my dependent list exists in column F (again various rows corresponding to those in D).

I have tried the following code, however, changes in cells column D (4) do not result in the contents of the corresponding cells in column F (6) being cleared. I have tried saving the excel workbook as binary and macro-enabled to no avail (if it even makes a difference).. what could I be doing wrong? Thanks.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
If Target.Column = 4 Then
If Target.Validation.Type = 3 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Offset(0, 2).ClearContents
End If
End If


exitHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub


End Sub

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
I tested code below - it works for me and clears column F when olumn D changes
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    On Error Resume Next
        If Target.Column = 4 Then
            If Target.Validation.Type = 3 Then
                Application.EnableEvents = False
                Target.Offset(0, 2).ClearContents
            End If
        End If
exitHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


Is EnableEvents switched off inadvertently - I always have this macro available on a shortcut especially when testing
Code:
Sub ReEnable()
    Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Exit Sub is pointless above End Sub with no code between the 2 lines (my code above excludes it)
- have you posted the whole of your code?
