Error Bars feature - Relative Relationship

Hello,

 

I'm testing the Relative setting of the Error Bar feature and my experience differs from the described.

 

Per PBI March 2022 release summary:

Absolute means that the fields contain the exact value of the upper or lower bound, while Relative means that the fields contain the difference between the upper or lower bound and the measure. For example, if at one point my measure has a value of 60, an upper bound of 90, and a lower bound of 45, my upper bound field in absolute terms would be 90 and my lower bound 45, while my upper bound in relative terms would be 30 while my lower bound would be -15. 

 

What I see is instead of subtraction, PBI does addition.

These are the numbers with Relationship to Measure = Absolute

Can anybody confirm this experience or could it be something with my measures?

 

Thank you!
