Why did text in entered formula change to red in Spreadsheet
 

Why did text in entered formula change to red in Spreadsheet after I entered
a formula? Previos entries in column were in the usual black text.
Thank you,

Maybe that cell has Conditional Formatting applied?

Select that cell and FormatConditional Formatting.

See if any conditions are set for that cell.

....if not conditional formatting, then the number formatting could be the
