Fotini Cassio How do I make a lookup field required when another field's picklist value is chosen?
I would like to create a validation rule that makes an Account lookup field required if a value is chosen from a picklist field. Specifically, in the Account object, when the "Reseller - Customer" option is chosen from the Type field, then the "Reseller" (account lookup) field becomes required to save the record. Here's a couple of validation rules that I've tried but neither of them works:
AND(
ISPICKVAL(Type, "Reseller - Customer"),
ISBLANK(Reseller__c)
)
_______________________________________________
AND(
ISPICKVAL(Type, "Reseller - Customer"),
Reseller__c = "")
AND(
ISPICKVAL(Type, "Reseller - Customer"),
ISBLANK(Reseller__c)
)
_______________________________________________
AND(
ISPICKVAL(Type, "Reseller - Customer"),
Reseller__c = "")
1. Validation rule is active.
2. Please check the API Name of picklist value is same as you mentioned in validation rule.

Your formula looks good:
Try to check the picklist values spelling and Space,and also check the API name of the custom field.
Can you please Let me know if it works or not!!!
