Hi Sean,

Please use the below formula in validation rule: 
AND(
	OR(
		ISPICKVAL(PEP, 'Domestic'),
		ISPICKVAL(PEP, 'Foreign')
	),
	NOT(ISPICKVAL(AML Risk Assessment, 'High'))
)

Please use the API name of the fields.

Thanks,
Abhishek Bansal.

Hi Sean,

I think you can try using a validation rule to make sure if the values of the fields are the above-mentioned ones and if the AML field is not empty.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi,

Its not that it is not empty, it is that the picklist value has to be one particular option i.e. High. 
I have tried using a formula in data validation rules but cant seem to get it to work.

What i want is
If PEP = 'Domestic' or 'Foreign' then AML Risk Assessment must be 'High'
How can i write this formula in Salesforce?
Thanks,
Sean

Hi Abhishek,

Many thanks, this worked. I was using OR instead of NOT which is why mine was not working. Thanks for your help.

Dear Sean Looby,

You can achive this by Validation Rules applied on PEP when meet the filed values mentioned  ('Domestic' or 'Foreign').
