    Color change in a formula?

    I need making a formula if it can be done.

    I am making a simple spreadsheet with deposit, credits and a end balance. What I want to do is put the credits in red and when I change the color to black then it remove the amount for the end balance. Can that be done?

    Create some example and show us your input and desired output.
    Make sure to avoid private informations but keep what's important for example.

    I have added an attachment but I am not sure it is working. I will try to explain myself a little better. I have a running total of bills minus deposits. What I want to do is put the bill amounts on the spreadsheet in a different color like red and when I pay the bill change the color to black and after i change the color that is when I want the balance at the end of the spreadsheet to change. With the simple formula I have no matter what the color is the amounts are deducted.
