Hello All - 

 

I am writing a validation to enforce that there is a value in a multi-select picklist prior to conversion. I already have a validation on the lead and was hoping to add a line that enforces that a multi-select picklist is not blank when converting. Here is the validation as it is written and it works well:

 

 

 

AND( IsConverted,OR (ISPICKVAL( Highest_Education_Level_Completed__c , ""),ISPICKVAL(  Academic__c  , ""),ISPICKVAL(  Time_Available_for_School__c  , "")))

 

However, what I need is to add a line that enforces that a MS Picklist is not blank - meaning the user must enter a value to proceed. Should I use the ISBLANK function? Is that even possible with MS Picklist?

    Michael, that is absolutely possible and you are thinking on the right lines. The formula would be this:

    AND(

    IsConverted,

    OR (

    ISBLANK(TEXT(Highest_Education_Level_Completed__c)),

    ISBLANK(TEXT( Academic__c )),

    ISBLANK(TEXT( Time_Available_for_School__c )),

    ISBLANK(Multi_SelectPicklist__c)

    )

    )

     

    Also, never use "" for checking a blank picklist (not a good practice).
