I have several columns in this excel sheet with 2 being drop down lists.
Root cause column is a drop down
Sub root cause is a dependent drop down list (to the value selected in root cause)

While testing the excel, I found if I select the values in root cause/sub root cause and hit delete I get a run time error.
I want to be able to clear the values like this as a user may want to mass select rows and clear.

See attached example and code

If Target.Column = 9 Then
If Target.Validation.Type = 3 Then
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = ""
