Is there a way to create a custom data validation to include a drop-down list AND restrict entry into a cell only before a certain date?

Not without VBA.

Try
Set DV to =List
Source:
=IF(TODAY()>B1,C1,DDList)
DDList is your DV data, B1 your cut-off date and C1 is blank (better if named range of single cell)
If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED.
John - I am not understanding the purpose of C1 for blank?
Simply if you are past the desired date, no entry is permitted and DV "List" option requires a list (even a single cell) in the IF statement
Can you please send me your work on a sample worksheet? It is not working for me......
It would be better if you showed what you've done so that we can troubleshoot it for you.
