Can someone please explain to me why the results in Col I are negative? The absolute values are correct, but the signs are wrong.

You have a - sign between = and SUMIFS which is going to invert the final result of the formula.

Jennifer there is a negative sign right in front of the SUMIFS. That negative sign is turning all your numbers negative.
