Hi Raj,
There is a flaw in your logic.
In your first statement you don't want users to enter data in column D if column B has a value. But then in your second statement, you want users to be able to enter a value in D to clear the value in column B, which isn't possible according to your first statement.
I did wanted to give you something:
The code below looks at column B, when you enter a value, the corresponding cell in column D cleared and made grey.
The code also looks at column D, when you enter a value, the corresponding cell in column B cleared and made grey.
Here is the code:
Best regards,
Trowa

Dim lRow As Long
lRow = Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row
If Not Intersect(Range("B3:B" & lRow), Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value <> vbNullString Then
Range("D" & Target.Row).Value = vbNullString
Range("D" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 15
Else
Range("D" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
ElseIf Not Intersect(Range("D3:D" & lRow), Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value <> vbNullString Then
Range("B" & Target.Row).Value = vbNullString
Range("B" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 15
Else
Range("B" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
End If
End Sub

Hi Raj,
Target refers to a single cell. When you clear the commented range, more then 1 cell changes and Excel gets confused.
To prevent the error, you will want to count the cells that get changed and when it is more then 1 then exit the sub.
Place the code line below on code line 13:

Hi Trowa,
I'm getting the below error while implementing the same logic in my original source file.
after commenting the below code the error has been resolved. but the colour does not appear in my file (I THINK I HAVE A TABLE, So THE COLOR LOGIC IS NOT WORKING IN MY FILE).
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lRow As Long
lRow = Range("C9").End(xlDown).Row
If Not Intersect(Range("J9:J" & lRow), Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value <> vbNullString Then
Range("K" & Target.Row).Value = vbNullString
' Range("K" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 15
'Else
' Range("K" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
ElseIf Not Intersect(Range("K9:K" & lRow), Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value <> vbNullString Then
Range("J" & Target.Row).Value = vbNullString
' Range("J" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 15
'Else
'Range("J" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
End If
End Sub
And How can I include the below clear content code in the above logic.
If Intersect(Target, Range("K3")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Range("D9:G210").ClearContents
Range("J9:K210").ClearContents
Range("M9:AR210").ClearContents
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Trowa,
The below code is working fine with my file. but I couldn't able to clear the J9: K210 data.
If I uncomment the commented code getting error.
Thanks,
Raj
