Trouble with Creating Validation Rules Challenge
I have a problem when I created the Validation Rule for the "Creating Validation Rules" Challenge. I used the following validation rule on the Contact Object:
AND(
NOT(ISBLANK(Account.AccountNumber)),
MailingPostalCode<>Account.ShippingPostalCode)
This works when I test it. When there is no account, it creates the contact. When there is an Account associated with the Contact, it prepopulates the Mailing Postal Code with the Billing Zip Code (not the shipping zip code). If I change it, to match the Shipping Zip Code, I can create the Contact. If the Zip Code doesn't match then I recieve the message I created saying: "Contact Mailing Zip Code must match Account Shipping Zip Code". This seems to be what the challenge is asking.
What could I be doing wrong? Or is this a problem with the logic for the Challenge?

you can use it in Error Condition Formula.
All Answers
NOT(ISBLANK(Account.AccountNumber))
to
NOT(ISBLANK(Accountid))
it worked.

Checking on Account.AccountNumber can be problematic since you are reference an Account Number on the Account object that may not exist (or is null). Programmatically, this often gives you the "null pointer reference" exception message.
As a common practice, if your question is answered, please choose 1 best answer.
But you can give every answer a thumb up if that answer is helpful to you.

you can use it in Error Condition Formula.
Can you tell me on which object did you apply?
Becoz It is applicable on contact object.
Plz attach the screenshot.
I was able to get the syntax correct when creating the validation rule on the Contact object. However, I am receiving an error in the assignment. Attached is the screenshot. Could you please tell me what I'm missing? Thanks!
Before checking this challenge, please deactive all the validation rule, and trigger.
I think that other validation rule and trigger is creating problem for checking.
I think that you made shippingPostalCode field in account. But it is already in account so there is no need to make. please don't use custom field in this challenge.
Thanks,
