Hello,

I've got a workbook I've been working on with primary drop-downs located in col G, cells 13, 14, 15,(merged cell with H&I), my dependent drop-down is in C of the same rows. (Merged cell with D). Despite trying codes copied from forums here and adjusting the locations to my situation, I can't seem to get it to work when I test it. I'm trying to get the dependent drop to reset when my primary value has been changed. Nothing I've tried seems to work.

can you post your code (whatever you have)?

I've tried copy and pasting multiple ones from this forum, but the latest one I have is this:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change (ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$G$13:$G$15" Then
Target.Offset (0,-4).Value = " "
End If
End Sub


I don't know the best way to go about this, but it doesn't seem to matter what examples I've tried, it never tests correctly.

so if i understand your code (should work), you would clear the contents of G17 to G19 if the cells in G13 - G15 change, is that correct?

If that's the code I've put in, then no wonder it doesn't work. Lol. I would like to clear contents of cell C13 if G13 changes, clear C14 if G14 changes, etc.

You're code is looking to clear col C.
How about
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("G13:G15")) Is Nothing Then
   Target.Offset(0, -4).Value = ""
End If
End Sub

Omg. Fluff. That did it. Thank you so much!
One last question:
Is it possible to populate cell D13 (same row) based on selection of dependent dropdown? (The value I want to put in there is in the cell directly next to where the source of dropdown selection is). I can't find anything about this, (VBA or formula) but I'm likely not wording it properly.

Example: Dependent dropdown is in C13: selection source is located in Sheet 2, cell A4.
Can I populate D13 automatically with the info from Sheet 2, cell B4?
