Thank you very much Dante, That is it.

Thank you for your time and help.
If the option with macro is accepted, then here is a shorter version.
Similarly change "D" by the letter of the column where you want the result.
VBA Code:
Sub ExpectedResult_1()
  Dim c As Range, s As String
  For Each c In Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3))
    If c.Offset(, 1).Value < 0 Then s = "+" & -c.Offset(, 1).Value Else s = "-" & c.Offset(, 1).Value
    Range("D" & c.Row).Formula = "=" & c.value & s
  Next
End Sub

or:

VBA Code:
Sub ExpectedResult_3()
  Dim c As Range, s As String
  For Each c In Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3))
    Range("D" & c.Row).Formula = "=" & c.Value & IIf(c.Offset(, 1).Value < 0, "+" & -c.Offset(, 1).Value, "-" & c.Offset(, 1).Value)
  Next
End Sub
