Restricting Close Date to Last Day of the Month When Not Closed Won/Lost

Hi there!

I've been asked to restrict the valid Close Dates for Opporunities to the last day of the month when the Stage is not Closed Won/Lost.

I've found a fromula that does a great job restricting the dates in general, but I can't figure out how to add the additional condition that it should only apply the date limitation when the Opportunity is in certain stages.

IF( 
    MONTH( CloseDate ) = 12,
    DATE( YEAR( CloseDate ) + 1, 1, 1 ),
    DATE( YEAR( CloseDate ), MONTH( CloseDate ) + 1, 1 )
  ) - 1 
)

Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Cody,

If you want to exclude for Closed Won / Lost... Then Use the below Validation Rule...
  
AND(
NOT( ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Closed Won") ),
NOT( ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Closed Lost") ),
CloseDate != (
IF(
MONTH( CloseDate ) = 12,
DATE( YEAR( CloseDate ) + 1, 1, 1 ),
DATE( YEAR( CloseDate ), MONTH( CloseDate ) + 1, 1 )
) - 1
)
)

Thanks,
Maharajan,C

Also if you want to add the certain Opportunity stages and Stage is not Closed Won/Lost then use the below Validation Rule:
  
AND(
	NOT( ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Closed Won") ),
	NOT( ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Closed Lost") ),
	OR(
	   ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Prospecting"),
	   ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Qualification"),
	   ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Needs Analysis"),
	   ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Value Proposition"),
	   ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Negotiation/Review")
	  ),
	CloseDate != (
	IF(
	MONTH( CloseDate ) = 12,
	DATE( YEAR( CloseDate ) + 1, 1, 1 ),
	DATE( YEAR( CloseDate ), MONTH( CloseDate ) + 1, 1 )
	) - 1
	)
)

Thanks, Maharajan! The first iteration was exactly what I was looking for, but it's great to have the version with extra flexibility in my back pocket if I need it!
