John,
Several of your stations have a considerably higher cut number as compared to the fill number. That would effect the net amount.
EDIT: I just looked at the table again and realized my response is wrong. I thought you were talking about an overall net value.

John,
The numbers themselves look right but they're showing negative for some reason.
Notice the second station. Net Vol is exactly the same as the fill value.
Then look at the next line. ADD the fill value from above to the fill volume of this line. Then subtract the cut value. Again it's the same as the net volume except it should be positive instead of negative.
Are your tables defined to put a hyphen in front of the number? Or show the negative?

John,
One more thing: there seems to be a rounding issue somewhere.
Take a look at the following. I typed the first two columns in based on your image. Then the other three columns are just excel formulas to calc the values. With the exception of being positive where yours are negative, mine are all within a couple 100ths of your values.

Using the Stanrdard styles for Takeoff and Total Volume table, why do I have a negative net value when it is clearly fill? In the Materials tab of the Sample Line Group Properties I have the EG as EG and the FG as Datum.
I think that might be it (I'd still like to know what's going on with that rounding issue as mentioned below). Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "Dataum" "something to measure against"? I think the EG should be Datum. And I don't see a place to enter EG in that tab.

Doesn't fill indicate you are short of dirt, hence the negative number? You'd have to add dirt in order to get to zero. If it was cut it would be positive where you'd need to subtract a value for export to get to a zero value.
