I have a lookup field named xyz on contact object which has 3 text fields in it.

Hi,

 

I think this can be done without using a custom validation rule. Please follow these steps;

  1. Go to the page layout of Contact object
  2. Edit page layout
  3. find out your lookup field
  4. click properties of your lookup field
  5. select required and click OK
  6. save the page layout
  7. Now you can feel your requirement :)

Now the validation will be there
