Substract 1 to working measure

Hi all,

 

I have a working meaure in power pivot in excel and would now want to substract 1 to the final results but can not find how to do it. 

 

My current measure is:  

=Import_Cube[2022_Estimate]/(CALCULATE(SUMX ( Import_Cube, IF ( [Date.Year] ="2021", [Total_CHF], BLANK () ) ),ALL( Import_Cube[Date.Year])))

 

With 2022_Estimate being a measure as well, Import_Cube a table and the measure is used within a power pivot table.

 

For example the measure gives me 0.65 and I would want to do 0.65 - 1 to get -0.35.

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

Best,

 

Fred

I ended doing it with a intermediary step with two measures.

 

1. Import_Cube[2022_Estimate]/(CALCULATE(SUMX ( Import_Cube, IF ( [Date.Year] ="2021", [Total_CHF], BLANK () ) ),ALL( Import_Cube[Date.Year]))) 

2. (Import_Cube[21-22 yoy growth helper]-1)*MAX(Import_Cube[2022YTD])

Thanks for the answer. I however still did not manage to make it work. I am unsure of what part of the other solution is applicable in my case.
