To take a contrarian approach, some criterion must have been
used to get the red color. Could that not be incorporated in a
SUMIF function?

Maybe someone in the French Excel groups would know of a French resource.

If your black numbers are positive, and your red numbers are negative, then
you can simply use Sumif greater than zero.

Usually these criteria are manually applied.

Is that so! Not meant sarcastically but I only use a numerical
criterion concerning standard deviations to high-light in red.
There is also the Number format using a different color for
negative numbers.

I was thinking of so many of the cases of actual human usage I've observed.
Conditional Formatting? What's that?

Basically, as I indicated, I want large changes to stand out so
I have things arranged so that if a change is more than 1.5 ESDs
it is displayed in red. I'd call that "conditional formatting".

I guess you missed my sarcasm. You will find many people that manually
change formatting, cell by cell. They've never heard of Conditional
Formatting.
