Boolean to influence Stage behaviour

I'm trying to generate a Val rule which prevents a Stage from being selected. When the 'source' (or influencing field) is a picklist, text, or date field I have no issues, but I cant find the function that controls how a Boolean (particularly, if Null) controls/limits the Stage...

 

Input most welcome!

Hi KSK,

 

In Salesforce, booleans can't be null. You work with them by just referencing them, so for example if you wanted to not allow the stage to be X when the boolean checkbox named bool__c was checked, then the code would be:

 

 

and(
     ispickval(Stage,"X")
    ,bool__c
)

Thanks, dude. That did the trick with NOT(Bool)...
