Overwrite a formula when a box is checked

I am currently using the following formula

If(
[Form 7 Due Date] <= 5 and [Form 7 Due Date] > 2, "<div style=\"background-color:Yellow;\">"&[Form 7 Due Date]&"</div>",   [Form 7 Due Date] <= 2 ,"<div style=\"color:white; background-color:Red;\">"&[Form 7 Due Date]&"</div>",  [Form 7 Due Date] <= 5 and [Form 7 Due Date] > 2 and [Form 7 Completed] = true, "<div style=\"background-color:White;\">Submitted</div>",   [Form 7 Due Date] <= 2 and [Form 7 Completed] = true, "<div style=\"background-color:White;\">Submitted</div>",   "")
The issue is that when the box is checked it is not changing the field to read submitted. The field changes color properly based on the number, though I don't want it to count infinitely as time goes on. I would like it so the check box [Form 7 Completed] is checked, the field then changes to read submitted.

    The IF statement processes the tests in the order that they are listed, lpooking for the first est which is true.  Perhaps you want this:


    If(  
    [Form 7 Completed] = true, "<div style=\"background-color:White;\">Submitted</div>", 
    [Form 7 Due Date] <= 5 and [Form 7 Due Date] > 2, "<div style=\"background-color:Yellow;\">"&[Form 7 Due Date]&"</div>",   [Form 7 Due Date] <= 2 ,"<div style=\"color:white; background-color:Red;\">"&[Form 7 Due Date]&"</div>",  [Form 7 Due Date] <= 5 and [Form 7 Due Date] > 2 and [Form 7 Completed] = true, "<div style=\"background-color:White;\">Submitted</div>",   [Form 7 Due Date] <= 2 and [Form 7 Completed] = true, "<div style=\"background-color:White;\">Submitted</div>")
