How to turn conditional formatting OFF when a target cell has a date in it.

I've got a spreadsheet that I'm having trouble with turning the conditional formatting OFF once a "Completion Date" is entered into a target cell.

In this sheet, staff enter an "Intake Date" in cell D4, which then allows other cells to populate due dates for report items. The Conditional Formatting I have set up highlights cells with certain colors based on proximity to the due-date for the report items, e.g. Cell is green when due date is is within 14 days of today, Yellow is within 7 days, Red is today or past due.

My concern is that the cells will continue to show as Red, even though the items have been completed.

What I'm looking for is a formula to make all of the Rules below turn off once data is entered into cell K4, allowing the other cells to revert to "No Fill".

My current formulas in the Rules are:
1. Formula: =D4=TODAY() Cell Fill is RED
2. Formula: =D4<TODAY() Cell Fill is RED
3. Formula: =(D4-TODAY())<8 Cell Fill is YELLOW
4. Formula: =(D4-TODAY())<15 Cell Fill is GREEN


Would this be something that I could enter as a rule before all the others with the "Stop If True" box checked?




Any ideas?
TIA

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
