Hi All!  
I need your help and expertise with a problem. When performing a subtraction of two columns it gives an erroneous result. The data from one of them is the sum of numbers from another collection. Could that be why?

If you can help me I really appreciate it Thanks in advance!

11.560,00 and 10,950.00

Looks like some inconsistencies in group separators. How do you get the values of presupuesto total?

Does it help if you change the column type of presupuesto total to number?
