Default IF with function as false return

I am creating a to do list in Excel 2003. I have 3 columns, A "Finished" with
x if complete; B "Due Date" with a date; C "Days to Go". I want the Days to
Go to read Done if there is an x in column A. I don't want to just delete the
completed tasks as I need a record of what I do.

I tried in C =IF(a4,"x", Done",=b4-TODAY())

The =B4-TODAY() works unless I want to factor in my status from A. Any
ideas? The Help says a formula can be the result for a FALSE return, but I
cannot find any examples. Of course I could just hide the completed tasks,
but that doesn't let me play with formulas.
