Validation Rule : When field "X" is changed, I want "Y" field equal to "Z".

I want to create a validation rule in the account object.
I have two text data type fields. I have tried with workflow it is working fine but need a validation rule for this.

When field "Location" is changed, I want "Status" field equal to "Moved".

Please guide me on this. Thanks for help.

Hi Sunimal,

Actually, Validation rule use to prevent the user if criteria does matched as mentioned in Validation rule and Display Error message.

So here Validation rule will not work. Please use Workflow as well.

Is there any other solution other than workflow.

hi  Suvimal,
validation rule is used for restrict user to update,delete and insert record based on criteria matches . if you don't want to use workflow then you can use formula field if status datatype is text but if status is picklist then you can use process builder or flow builder.
but I think workflow is good approach.

let me know if you are satisfie with my answer.
don't forget to mark it as best answer.

Thank you
