If/else conditions on rules

Hi guys

I need to do validation on a field, but the validation being done is dependant on whether or not another field has a value.

How would I do an if/else statement using rules? The rules are carried out on a button click.

The statement I want to execute is:

if Field1 is not blank then
{
do validation
}
else
{
don't do validation
}

I thought of adding a rule with conditions to check if field1 is blank, and then I just tick "Stop processing rules when this rule finishes". And then I put a rule below that rule that does the validation. This won't work in my case, though, because I have other fields that need validating too, with the same rules, which would mean they never get executed, unless the first rule on the checkboxes fail.

Any suggestions?
