Esteban, the formaula has to have exactly the correct spacing, in yours it looks like there's a space after your first bracket

I hope you are using below formula as per task 
AND(Name = "Exhaust Port Inspector", Utilization__c < 1.5)

Please compare your validation rule with task screen shot
Please let us know if this will help you

I have the same problem and I used the same formula really don't know what's the problem

You may check your field name - the formula is looking for the same case, I had a lower case 'p' which caused it to fail

I checked and Still got the same error :(

I'm getting the same error message, even though my validation rule works.  Iv'e double checked the spelling and capitalizaiton as I've been caught on these obvious "gotchas" previously.

@Jeremy Pritchard 5 Oh my god! can't believe a single space was the error. I finally could solve it Thank you very much!

All,

The check is looking for some specific strings in the formula. The best best is to copy and paste the formula exactly from the unit. It's not case sensitive.

AND(Name = "Exhaust Port Inspector", Utilization__c < 1.5)

This si the new error:
Step Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
An update to a Battle Station record with Weapon Status of 'Fully Operational' failed to post a Chatter message to the record. Make sure that the process is configured correctly and that it is activated. 
Note: you may run into errors if you've skipped previous steps.

While spaces do not matter in formulas (which is why the rule works perfectly) the logic in Trailhead that checks the work is very fussy about spaces. If I want the points, I must make it match what the check is looking for.

I had the problem a year ago and went away in sadness and frustration. So I just picked it back up and have created a new rule, deactivated the other one, copied and pasted the formula from the instructions AND I'm still getting the same error. Did someone figure out what to do about this or am I the lone remaining loser.

Copied rule directly from the trailhead and it gets a syntax error.   It is the same formula listed above by your developers.  There is something wrong with this trailhead and it needs to be fixed.  Patricia Boyce had this error a year ago and a month ago and this has not been addressed or resolved.  Please correct this so we can refrain from waisting anymore time on this problem that is preventing us from completeing mandatory trailheads.  Thank you

Heather,

If you want to send me (jdouglas@salesforce.com) your Trailhead Playground or Developer Org username and password, I'll log in and take a peek for you. Please include the URL of the unit you are having problems with for reference. Thanks!

I figured out what the problem was, the previous trailhead has you add utilization.  The directions on the previous trailhead do not have you save so if you follow along and do not save you will not have utilization.  I'm all set thx.  Hope this helps others resolve and I hope the directions get updated

Maybe I can help someone. I did what it said in thailhead but the validation rule does not work. I mean i can save record without error. But i got it. In previous unit we added "Exhaust port inspector" but when we create the validation rule we checked "Exhaust Port Inspector". It's not the same capitalization. So just copy name from the formule or vise versa and the rule will work.User-added image

I got an issue with this validation rule due to Error Location. It doesnt work if I choose "Top of page" rather than "field".
