Validation query

Hi Guys,

Forgive me if I'm missing the blatantly obvious here, I'm still relatively new. I would like to have the validation rule below apply only when the field is not blank, I've been having trouble constructing the right syntax to achieve this.

NOT(BEGINS(Phone,"00")) || NOT(ISNUMBER(Phone)) || CONTAINS(Phone,".")

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks

NOT(ISBLANK(Phone)) && ( NOT(BEGINS(Phone,"00")) || NOT(ISNUMBER(Phone)) || CONTAINS(Phone,".") )

Hi Lorenzo,

What is the name of the field for which you want to check for not blank. Is it Phone?
If so, use NOT(ISBLANK(Phone)) in validation rule definition.

Yes Phone is the name of the field. I had already tried to include NOT(ISBLANK(Phone)) before posting this, that's where I'm going wrong though. How can I include this statement so that it coincides with the others in this rule?

Please try with it:
AND(NOT(ISBLANK(Phone)),(NOT(BEGINS(Phone,"00")) || NOT(ISNUMBER(Phone)) || CONTAINS(Phone,".")))
