Hi Sandrine,

I have gone through your question. The validation rule on the date should not less than the current Month.
Please follow the below to achieve this:-

Validation--->

if((Status__c == 'XYZ') && Month(Date__c) < Month(today()), true,false)


I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Sandrine,

We can create this through Validation Rule

As per your question what i understood is

If status ( picklist ) = 'xyz'
Then the custome Date field should be in the same month as you said it should be in October.

Create the validation rule in your custom object and paste this code in this

IF(ISPICKVAL( Status__c , 'B'), Month (Today()) !=  MONTH( Custom_Date_Field__c ), true)

Here i have taken Fields Status__C and my pick list value is B. You can change it according to yours.

If you are happy with the answer, please keep it as sloved.. :)

Hi Sandrine,

I have gone through your question. I have created a validation rule for your scenario.
Here is my validation rule - 

Status__c = 'XyW'  && ( ISBLANK(Custom_Date__c) || ( MONTH(Custom_Date__c )  <  MONTH( TODAY() ) ) )


I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
