Conditional Formatting for blank date based on text from another field

Hi Everyone, 

 

I am trying to highlight the date column red when the date is blank and the status field is "Completed" 

Capture.PNG

I have been able to create a measure that turns the date field red when status is completed, how do i make this only happen when the date is blank?

 

Color Date MPLA =
VAR Name1 = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('PLP & MPLA Qualification Data'[MPLA Status]) = "Completed", True, False)
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
Name1 , "RED")
 
Thanks in advance for any advice.

[Color Date MPLA] =
var StatusValue = 
    SELECTEDVALUE( 'PLP & MPLA Qualification Data'[MPLA Status] )
var DateValue_ =
    SELECTEDVALUE(
        'PLP & MPLA Qualification Data'[MPLA Date],
        // This value makes sure that when many dates are
        // visible in the current context BLANK is not
        // returned as that could change the logic.
        dt"3000-01-01" 
    )
var ColorCondition = 
    StatusValue = "Completed" && ISBLANK( DateValue_ )
VAR Color =
    IF( ColorCondition, "red" )
return
    Color
