Issue in Subtotal

Hello everyone,

Quick question about P&L reports: When calculating revenue and costs, I'm finding that the subtotals for each label aren't reflecting the correct values. For instance, if revenue is $500 and EBIDTA is -$100, the subtotal for EBIDTA shows -$100 instead of the remaining $400. Any tips on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Revenue_minus_EBITDA =
VAR RevenueAmount = CALCULATE (
    SUM('FINANCE_WORKING'[REV_AMT]),
    FILTER (
        'INTEGRATED_PROFIT & LOSS',
        'INTEGRATED_PROFIT & LOSS'[Label] = "Revenue"
    )
)
VAR EBITDAAmount = CALCULATE (
    ABS(SUM('FACT_FINANCE'[REV_AMT])),
    FILTER (
        'INTEGRATED_PROFIT & LOSS',
        'INTEGRATED_PROFIT & LOSS'[Label] = "EBITDA"
    )
)
VAR EBITAAmount = CALCULATE (
    ABS(SUM('FACT_FINANCE'[REV_AMT])),
    FILTER (
        'INTEGRATED_PROFIT & LOSS',
        'INTEGRATED_PROFIT & LOSS'[Label] = "EBITA"
    )
)
VAR PBTAmount = CALCULATE (
    ABS(SUM('FACT_FINANCE'[REV_AMT])),
    FILTER (
        'INTEGRATED_PROFIT & LOSS',
        'INTEGRATED_PROFIT & LOSS'[Label] = "PBT"
    )
)
RETURN
RevenueAmount -EBITDAAmount - EBITAAmount - PBTAmount /*
