It is not clear from your screenshots if you are displaying this data on a form, or as a report.

If you are displaying some kind of embedded report on a Form Layout (record); and you possibly have more than 1 embedded table from the same source table; this could be an issue.

If this is not the case; then I would recommend submitting a Support Ticket; so that Quick Base can actually see your App and diagnose the possible source of this directly.

Thanks for the reply Laura.
It's a summary report. I didn't want to share a full screenshot due to confidentiality.
I'll submit a Support Ticket.

    The only times that I have seen Auick Base not calculate correctly, regardless of the crazy complexity of the app, is in two situations.

    1. You have a summary field where the reference field on the right side itself uses a lookup field as part  of it's formula.  

    2. You actually have a circular calculation.  Quick Base mostly prevents you deform doing this but if you have complex summary fields there may be a hidden circular calculation that Quick Base can't stop you from creating.
