How to accumulate negative values ​​in a measurement using rankx?

I am performing a calculation where the values ​​are being accumulated according to the ranking position (from the highest value, to the lowest), using rankx for this.
However when there are negative values, it is not adding to the calculation.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Below, the code I'm doing:

_SomaValorReal = SUM(fRealizado[Valor]) -- MEASURE1

 

_RankingGeralReal = RANKX(ALLSELECTED(dCentroDeCustoDW),[_SomaValorReal]) -- MEASURE2

 

_AcumuladoReal =
var contextoR = [_RankingGeralReal]
var fatacumR =
CALCULATE(
[_SomaValorReal],
FILTER(
ALL(dCentroDeCustoDW),
[_RankingGeralReal] <= contextoR
)
)
RETURN
fatacumR

 

And in the image below, the (wrong) form that the calculation returns:

Hi @marcelojunior88 

in third measure "_AcumuladoReal " there is reference to second measure _RankingGeralReal which use ALLSELECTED funtion. 

When one measure call another measure with ALLSELECTED, then results are almost impossible to understand / spot cause for unlogical amounts. The best practice for ALLSELECTED is to use it for single visual, not chain measure with ALLSELECTED to another measure.

You will need to rework your measure.

One possible solution could be that you create VAR in third measure with definition of second measure. So test this approach and see results.

Thank you very much,
I replaced "allselected" by "all", and in the context of what I wanted, it worked
