list data validation failed when creating a new list item but does not fail when editing an existing item

Dear SharePoint Experts,

Please help.

Why does my simple formula work in Excel but not-work in SharePoint?

Why does this formula...

=IF([Request Type]="Review",(IF(ISBLANK([Request Date]),FALSE,TRUE)),TRUE)

...work in Excel but fail when I try to use it in SharePoint?

The intent of this formula is the following...

If the field "Request Type" has the value "Review" and the field "Request Data" is blank then show FALSE, otherwise show TRUE.

SharePoint saves the formula, but when a list item is saved where the formula is implemented, (under List Settings, List Validation), SharePoint does not, say anything other than that the formula failed.

Note that the "list data validation failed" error only happens when I am creating a new item-- the formula above works just fine when one is trying to Save on the edit form. 

Can you help?

Thanks.
