I created a test spreadsheet and put 50 in cell A1, 30 in cell A2,

in cell B1. I then copied B1 to B2 and to B3.
The correct numbers are in B1, B2, and B3. B1 is 10, B2 is -10 and
B3 is 0. *The problem is that all the B cells have red numbers.* I
have probably not created the correct RedText style
No: your style is probably OK.
How do I get the minus numbers, such as the -10 in B2, to be black
instead of red?
I'm not sure why your formula doesn't work: it presumably relates to
how the expression is parsed and evaluated. But using STYLE(IF())
instead of IF(STYLE()) appears to solve the problem:
=A1-40+STYLE(IF(A1>40;"RedText"))
Incidentally, you can refer to the current cell value using the
CURRENT() function, so another way to do this is:
=A1-40+STYLE(IF(CURRENT()>0;"Red"))
I trust this helps.
