When I created this field, the option for a child to be deceased was on in the system. 

 

This is on a custom object that looks up to Child and Mother Contact Records. I want to have the Checkbox Active MCH checked as true UNLESS:

 

The child is over 5 years old OR is deceased. The Deceased Checkbox is on the Contact Record. 

 

Here's what I have: IF(Child_s_Age__c = "Over 5",FALSE,TRUE)

 

Where the child's age field is calculated from the birthdate of the child. 

 

Now, I need to add, if the child's age is over five OR the deceased checkbox on the child's contact record = True. 

 

Sorry, formulas are not my strong point here.

    Trish, just for testing sake,  can you give this a shot?

    IF(

    OR(

    Child_s_Age__c = "Over 5",

    Contact_Lookup__r.Deceased__c = TRUE

    ), FALSE, TRUE

    )
