Hello, I have a table which shows sales, purchases, and profit (sales minus purchases) grouped by date column. Table is related to a different table which has site names. So by that i calculate how much each site spends and makes sales. What I need is a new column which would show percentage of purchases against sales. The syntax would look something like sales minus purchases = profit divided by sales which is 100% and I need everything shown in %. Thank You
if you want to see percentages most likely you need a measure not a calculated column - this article describes the difference between the two:

I'd create following measures:
Sales Amount = SUM(Table[Sales]) Purchases Amount = SUM(Table[Purchases]) Profit = DIVIDE([Sales Amount]-[Purchases Amount], [Sales Amount])
adn then you format the measure accordingly
