Default Erasing cells when the validation dropdown choice changes

Can be done, but how do D16 and D17 get filled to start with?

Once cleared, what's to clear if another choice is made from the DV
dropdown?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("D11")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo endit
Application.EnableEvents = False
Me.Range("D16:D17").ClearContents
endit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code"

Copy/paste the code into that module.

Alt + q to return to Excel.

to have the contents in D16 & D17 erased (i.e., revert to being blank cells).

Being relatively new to VBA, I have no idea how to program this. Can anyone
help me?

Thanks,
