How to get only 1 formula in column 'Behind schedule/Potential impact on delivery' showing the variance between Baseline End date vs Actual end date only if Actual date = >Today , if not showing "0'
And in the meantime how to STOP the countdown as soon as the status of the task is triggered as "Completed', but still showing the days behind schedule, if any.
Thank you

You would use an IF statement as the base and write it out to follow the original post logic in reverse order.
If the status is completed, variance between end dates, otherwise the maximum of either zero or variance between today and baseline end.
=IF(Status@row = "Completed", [Actual End Date]@row - [Baseline End Date]@row, MAX(0, TODAY() - [Baseline End Date]@row)
