ganeshsanap Thanks for your update. my case is a bid different. for instance you have used Resolved in ur example, but my case is Resolved and In Progress. If the users select either Resolved or In Progress the other column should become require field. Can you please help with this one. I have used && or AND, none of them works.

Harris0261 Use formula like below:
=IF(OR([Status] = "In Progress", [Status] = "Resolved"), IF(ISBLANK([Resolution Type]), false, true), true)

Hello, I am trying to solve a similar issue, and modified the formula above for my needs. I noticed in a different thread, it was stated to set this up under "list validation settings" and not "column validation settings". However, when I go to Settings/List Settings, I don't have an option for "validation settings". Am I looking in the wrong place?
