Customer Data Analysis - Handling Negative Values?

Does anyone know the best way to deal with negative values when conducting cohort analysis on revenue data? Feel like I'm going to have to write some lengthy formulas so that churn, expansion and downsell aren't skewed. Do others simply strip out these values?

Yep. It’s data received from the sellside on a recurring revenue business. No footnotes provided as to what it could mean. I wrote a formula to handle those instances but am now just curious if anyone has encountered and what this represents.
