Hello SP community,
I want to validate that the users select either "Pre", or "Post" choice if they selected Yes to a previous column.
I've created two a choice column, one is a Yes/No choice, and the other is "Pre" or "Post". When a user selects "Yes" in the first column I want to validate that they also select either "Pre", or "Post" in the following column. If they selected No, then they aren't required to select "Pre" or "Post".
I am not sure if this is possible or maybe there is another solution rather than using column validation? I was thinking a calculated column, but they have two choices after selecting "Yes".
Thank you!

@SXT3410 This is possible using List validation settings. You can use formula like:
=IF([Column 1] = "Yes", OR([Column 2] = "Pre", [Column 2] = "Post"), TRUE)

I tested the formula, and it works as intended! Thank you also for the note @ganeshsanap, I wasn't aware of the validation setting.
