Looks like your data file has Windows style CRLF endings and you're on a Unixish system that uses LF line endings. Run dos2unix or the like on it and try again.

I have  a list of values,  and if I type

datamash  sum 1
'atamash: invalid numeric value in line 1 field 1: '-500

This is my list

-500

-100
-87.33
-600
-116.43
-500
-1000
-171.67
-112.84
-171.67

I think datamash must handle negative numbers,
