    Clear cell contents of drop down box based on condition

    In an Excel template, I have a simple Y/N list to select for the field 'Travel Required.' If 'Yes' is selected the field 'Select Travel Level:' appears in column B and a list box in the column C reveals the type of travel for selection - light, heave, international, per diem. Here's my issue. If 'No' is selected in the Travel Required field, I have a formula in column B to blank out 'Select Travel Level' and I want to also blank out column C for travel type selection. I'm not sure how or if it can be done with a formula to clear the contents of a list box. I'd prefer not to use VBA to accomplish this if at all possible.


    Travel Required: Yes
    Select Travel Level: Light Travel(drop down selection if travel is selected 'Yes')


    Travel Required: No
    Light Travel(drop down list blank if 'No' is selected for Travel Required)

    Thanks in advance for any help provided!!
