Using Basic Logic in Checkbox Formulas: error

I keep getting: Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
The validation rule does not reference the 'IsClosed' and 'CloseDate' fields correctly. Take a look at the requirements again.

When I test the formula it seems to work as the requirements indicate yet it does not pass the validation from trailhead. Here is the formula: AND( NOT(IsClosed) ,  CloseDate < TODAY() )
It is placed on the CloseDate field.

Hi Michelle, 

Can you please explain the requirement?

Thanks,
Vinoth

Here is the requirement: The validation rule should fire if IsClosed is not selected and CloseDate is yesterday or earlier

I believe there is a bug in the trailhead based on some other threads i did find.

I'm having exactly the same error message when using the same formula.. validations work when used seperately, though..

Same thing here... looks like a Trailhead error! The validation works fine, but the Challenge does not complete

Contacted the developers and they are working on a fix as I type....

I have exactly the same problem. I wrote the rule three different ways, validated it and it's still not working. Glad to know I'm not alone.

OK.... give it a shot now. We just pushed a fix so keep your fingers crossed. :)

Worked like a charm (and thus as intended). Thanks Jeff!

Try this
NOT( IsClosed ) &&   OR( CloseDate  <  TODAY() )
