Checklist true, then do not allow picklist value

I'm trying create a validation rule that will not allow a picklist value to be chosen if the checkbox is checked.

 

This is as far as I've gotten...

 

AND(
PRIORVALUE(D2D_Account__c, "true")
ISPICKVAL(Type, "Archived")

 

Tried searching the board and couldn't find a solution.

 

Thanks in advance!

If I understand correctly, you shouldn't need to check for the prior value of the checkbox. You only care that the checkbox is checked when you try to save the record.

 

Try this:

 

AND( /* Only return true if both of the following are true */
  D2D_Account__c,                 /* If the checkbox is checked, this is true */
  ISPICKVAL( Type, "Archived" )   /* If "Archived" is selected, this is true */
)

 This prevents the record from being saved if the checkbox is checked and "Archived" is chosen in the picklist.
