I have a custom object with a formula text field on it pulling from the master object. I have a picklist field and upon saving want to check that the picklist value chosen matches the formula text field (both sets of values are exactly the same) - with an error message to advise someone to amend their picklist value choice if they do not match... I am struggling with the syntax - can someone help?

Possible Suggestion/Solution #1

I think this should do it for you:

TEXT(Picklist_Field__c) <> Formula_Field__c
