Prevent two fields from being equal

How to prevent a record save if two fields on an object have same values?

Hi Samantha,

You can create a validation rule that checks if the two fields on the same record are same or not. If they are same then throw an error.

I hope this helps.

Thanks

Create a validation rule on the object where Field1 = Field2 then throw your error message saying that both fields should not be equal 
Field1 = Field2

Does this work?  Field1 = Field2

Are you looking for same values of a field in different records or in the same record?

Hi Samantha,

As replied earlier, you can create a Validation Rule that checks if the two field values are same and then throw an error.
