I need Help on validation rules [closed]

Question

I need assistance on creating Validation Rules on Account Object-

If the Vehicle Makes(Editable) field is populated, then the Franchise_Type_c must be populated.
If the Franchise_Type_c field is NOT populated, the following error message should be displayed” The Franchise Type is required”

These are custom fields on the Account Object.

This isn't a specific question. You just seem to be asking us to do your job for you. — metadaddy, Oct 31, 2012 at 6:02

As your question is pretty much detailed, and you know your validation rules, I believe the process is pretty straight forward.

2 issues:

Do you need 1 or 2 validation rules? (you can have what you need in a single or 2 seperated rules)
Your first requirement is not needed. Since Franchise_Type__c is a required field.

BTW, did you think to change that in the Custom Field settings? You could change the Field 'Franchise_Type__c' into a required field.

Go to create a new validation rule

Give a "Rule Name" and add Description

You than need to enter your criteria.
