On the Contact record, if a contact has the value of 'CEO' in the Title field, the administrator wants to require the users to also put a phone number in the Phone field.

What formula should the administrator put in the Error Condition Formula of a validation rule to enable this?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The error condition formula of a validation rule should return TRUE when the validation rule should fire and display an error message. In this case, the validation rule should fire when the Title field has the value of 'CEO' and the Phone field is blank. The formula Title = 'CEO' && ISBLANK(Phone) returns TRUE when both conditions are met, and FALSE otherwise.

D doesn’t fit either. We need to focus on CEOs needing a phone.

I’m confused; I thought we were supposed to allow entries when the Title isn’t 'CEO'. That makes me lean towards D, but I need to double-check.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like we want to trigger an error when the Phone is empty for CEOs, which sounds like C again.

I think the formula needs to check if the Title is 'CEO' and then see if the Phone is blank, so maybe it's C?

Okay, let's see. We want to require a phone number if the Title is 'CEO', so that rules out B and D.
