question about validation rule on custom object

Hi,

I create a custom object "opp product"  and the reuirment is below:

field # 1: Process (which is flied date)

field # 2 : closing stage (which is pick list )

field # 3 = closing stage owner  (which is lookup field on oppportunity)

the reuirment is that if the processing filed had no date picked and closing stage = close complete then closing stage owner  should be null.

I am not sure that how to write a validation rule for this.

please help me and i am new to salesforce.

thanks

Please post your question only once. I see that this was posted twice again.

 

AND(
    ISBLANK(Process__c),
    ISPICKVAL(Closing_Stage__c, "Close Complete"),
    NOT(ISNULL(Closing_Stage_Owner__c)
)

 

This rule will fire an error if the Process field is blank, the Closing Stage is "Close Complete, and the Closing Stage Owner has a value. Otherwise, if any of these is false, then the rule will not fire.

Seriously!  between the Answers Forum and the Formulas Board you're practically SPAMMING with the same questions over and over.

Hi,

 

Validation Rule is not a proper option for this scenario.

You have to go by either workflow or trigger.
