Outlook Task - Stopping Conditional Formatting When Status Achieved

Question

I would like to format my Task list so that it does the following:

1. When a Due Date is unassigned, the task is in bold.
2. When a Due Date is assigned, the task changes to regular.
3. When the task is overdue, the task turns red.
4. When the item is complete, regardless of its due date status, it goes grey and is struck out.

I can make each of these things happen through conditional formatting by modifying my view (so you don't need to explain how to do that). But if I include all of them, they all always apply. So if an item is complete, it is struck out, but if the due date is unassigned, it is struck out and bold, and if the due date is passed, it's struck out, bold, and red. (I also must use the default Overdue conditional formatting option as I cannot seem to find a way to define the condition of overdue, except for due date equals "yesterday".)

Changing the order doesn't seem to make a difference.

In Excel, you can adjust the order to prioritize and opt to have the conditional formatting stopped if the condition is reached. I can't seem to have happen here.

Any thoughts?
