Stop a countdown when the issue is resolved

Hi there, I am creating a vulnerability tracker for my work. We have a time limit of 14 days to resolve said vulnerability/issue from the date it is published.

So far I have created this table:

A B C D E F G H I J K
Name of Vulnerability Patch Update Release date Date to be remediated by Days left to Remediate Remediated within 14 days? Within Patch Cycle? Ticket Number Date Ticket Raised Date Ticket Closed Ticket Outcome
TE S T ER 16/09/2024 30/09/2024 10 Yes ###### / / Ticket to be Raised
TE S T ER  2 01/09/2024 15/09/2024 -5 No ###### / / Remediated

I want to know if its possible to stop the countdown that happens in row D when I put 'Yes' in row E?

I'm guessing it's an 'IF statement' but I am not very good with those....any help would be appreciated, thank you :)

    That could be something like:

    =IF(E2="Yes", "", count_down_formula)

    and copy it down column E as far as needed.
