RANKCUMULATE function not working with a negative number

I have a RANKCUMULATE function that is working fine but when a negative number is referenced it ignores it rather than subtracting it from the running total. I am hoping someone has run into this before and has a solution for me.

I would look for Ranks 67 and 68 and see what values are sitting on these ranks. Since 68 is visible which is at the bottom of your screenshot the value is exactly 326,894. If you look at the order and try to add as per ranks in an ascending order you will realize that the RANKCUMULATE is working fine

Rank 66 326,894 Overall 601,179

Rank 67 N/A Overall 601,179

Rank 68 326,894 Overall 928,073

Rank 69 -326,894 Overal 601,179

Now if you are comparing rank 66 with 69 you will see that there is no difference when in reality rank 67 and rank 68 also needs to be added before you come to rank 69. Hence you see same numbers on these two ranks

Hope that helps

To my knowledge it subtracts the values as well. Could you please show us all the lines items that are involved in the syntax especially Opp rank, In Planning Year? and Q3 for cumulate.

Here is the capture with the elements of the formula
