When testing boolean columns, best practice is to test for checked/is not checked.  
So try changing that to “Date Time Completed is not checked”.

Just an aside - testing for RowID is not empty is not necessary, because a RowID column should _never_ be empty. If it is, then something is seriously wrong.
