Formula error message regarding validation rule

I am trying to create a validation rule within a opportunity object after entering the formula per the Object Manager Challenge
ISPICKVAL( StageName ,"Closed Lost") && ISBLANK( Close_Reason__c ) .I Keep getting the following error:
 Error: Field Close_Reason__c is a picklist field. Picklist fields are only supported in certain function 
Trail head wont allow me to get past he challenge with out the above formula

Thank you the formula you provided works, however the trailhead module keeps giving me the following error:

I stumbled over the same problem. Finally I found out that in an earlier module, when creating the Close_Reason__c field, I accidentally created it as picklist instead of picklist(multiselect).
For multiselect picklist fields the formula ISPICKVAL( StageName ,"Closed Lost") && ISBLANK( Close_Reason__c )  is correct.

Thank you Dr. Thomas Miller. I changed the field type to multiselect picklist and it worked!!

Obrigado Dr. Thomas! Alterei o tipo de campo e funciona. Um pequeno detalhe que passamos batido na hora de criar o campo.
