Formula for Checkbox or Picklist value is blank

Hello, 

I want to setup a rule that if a picklist value has not been selected that the WF triggers. I can't get it to work as I'm not sure how to add the picklist value = blank to the formula, used isnull, isblank and they came with errors. The picklist is called buyer using grants in bold below

AND( 
NOT(ISBLANK(Lender_Company_Contact__c )), 
NOT(ISBLANK(Buyer_Selling_Agent__c)), 
NOT(ISBLANK(Listing_Agent__c )), 
NOT(ISBLANK( Appraisal_Date_Time__c )), 
OR( 
TEXT (isnull (Buyer_Using_Grants__c) 


OR( 

TEXT ( rethink3__Broker_Representation__c ) = "SELLER", 

TEXT( rethink3__Broker_Representation__c ) = "Double sided"))

Please use ISBLANK(  TEXT(Buyer_Using_Grants__c ))

I changed it a bit to add more conditions and now I'm getting an extra , 

AND( 
NOT(ISBLANK(Lender_Company_Contact__c )), 
NOT(ISBLANK(Buyer_Selling_Agent__c)), 
NOT(ISBLANK(Listing_Agent__c )), 
ISBLANK (Transaction_Closed_Date__c), 
OR( 
ISBLANK(  TEXT(Buyer_Using_Grants__c ))) 

OR
( TEXT ( rethink3__Broker_Representation__c ) = "SELLER", 

TEXT( rethink3__Broker_Representation__c ) = "Double sided"))
,
OR

(  TEXT(Loan_Type__c) = "FHA",
TEXT(Loan_Type__c) = "VA"
TEXT(Loan_Type__c) = "Conventional"))

Please try this

 

AND( 
NOT(ISBLANK(Lender_Company_Contact__c )), 
NOT(ISBLANK(Buyer_Selling_Agent__c)), 
NOT(ISBLANK(Listing_Agent__c )), 
ISBLANK (Transaction_Closed_Date__c), 
OR( 
ISBLANK(  TEXT(Buyer_Using_Grants__c ))) 

OR
( TEXT ( rethink3__Broker_Representation__c ) = "SELLER", 

TEXT( rethink3__Broker_Representation__c ) = "Double sided")
,
OR

(  TEXT(Loan_Type__c) = "FHA",
TEXT(Loan_Type__c) = "VA"

Want a WF to trigger if the lender co contact, selling agent and listing  is not blank if the buyer using grants has not been entered (it's a picklist) if loan type equas FHA, VA or Conventional and if the broker representation equals seller or double sided - does this make sense.

If brocker representation and Lon type are picklist field then use ISPICKVAL function.
