Default Formula appearing instead of result

I have the following code in a macro
If Range("g" & x - 1) 2 Then 'charlie if
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C[-3]-RC[-3]"
ElseIf Range("g" & x - 1) < 2 Then
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C[-3]-RC[-3]"
Else: ActiveCell.Value = "2 yellow"
End If

In the active cell, I am getting "=R[-1]C[-3]-RC[-3]" showing up instead of
the result. I've tried chaning formatting to general, text, number, etc.
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. The last time I ran the macro, I
got a mix of success and failure with the cells formatted as text.
Any ideas why this is happening?
TIA
