Divide negative number

[Anonymous]

Hi Power BI users,

I would like to divide a negative number. Thus, below in my example I would like to see a column for every row a percentage where I divide  e.g. salarycost/profit = -79,91%. I have used the Divide function, but this won't give me the result below. The normal divide / is also not working. Is there an alternative where I could see my percentage negatively back?

Thank you instead.

	Value	Percentage %
Profit	€   584.531	100%
Salary cost	€ -467.074	-79,91%
Result	€   117.457	20,09%

Hi, I thougt that it was required to add an alternative in the function. Thank you for your reply!
