Okay, I found my answer to the above issue, but would like to know if this is the best way to avoid the problem.

There are some rows with $0.00 return from the formula.  This occurs when I When I suppressed those rows, it was still figuring the change of Gift ID including those $0.00 values, which were listed first.  My solution was to sort the gifts after gift ID by amount in descending order.  I wonder if this is the best solution?

I am also trying to eliminate the $0.00 rows some other way by record selection, which would probably be a safer solution.

Thank you.

sorting and keeping unique / primary ids together is usually a good bet when trying to suppress duplicate data.

Suppressing has NO impact on calculations (sum, count, max, min, etc.).
 
Be careful with select statements as it is easy to change outer joins into inner joins based on the select condition(s).
