Hi Piyush,

ABove condition is working . 

y exact requirement is when i change year in close date then i need to select one value from picklist field.

I write a VR , its working only if picklist field is empty. 

But my requirement is when year is changed , then enter the picklist field.
VR :

AND(YEAR(CloseDate) <> YEAR(PRIORVALUE(CloseDate)),  
ISPICKVAL(Push_reason__c,)
)

try this one, 
AND(YEAR(CloseDate) <> YEAR(PRIORVALUE(CloseDate)), 
ISBLANK(TEXT(Push_reason__c) ) 
)

Thanks

Thanks ,
ShahidHi Piyush,

Its working only on Push_reason__c picklist field is empty. If  Push_reason__c  field have a value , and year is changed in close date field , then error message is not display.

My requirement is : When year is changed in Closed Date field , then show the error msg in to Push_reason__c  field , if it has value or not .
