Conditionally require column based on value of another

Hello,

 

I have a status column in SharePoint Online and another column named "Resolution Type".

 

Both columns are of type "Choice".

 

What I want to do is that when Status is changed to "Resolved", a value from the "Resolution Type" will need to be selected before the form can be saved.

 

Any help, would be appreciated.

 

Thanks 🙂

    Chris Cundy Add list validation formula from List settings --> Validation settings. Set formula something like: 

     

    =IF([Status] = "Resolved", IF(ISBLANK([Resolution Type]), false, true), true)

      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)
