subtracting 100 from each value in another column

i have % increase in one column eg 60%, 80% for various organisations and i want to show the remainder eg 40% and 20% in another so i can show stacked bar charts etc how do i create a column which deducts 100 from each percentage 

 

i tried something like % remaing = 100 - % increase but that didn't work 

 

Any help greatly appreciated

You can use below dax function to get your expected result.
% Remaining = 100 - [% Increase]

Replace % Increase with the actual name of your column if it differs

 

If your percentages are in decimal format (like 0.60 instead of 60%), adjust the formula accordingly:

% Remaining = 1 - [% Increase]

 

then use this in your barchart,hope this works.

@Jay2022 Try 1 - [% increase]. If that's not it, then post sample data.

 

Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
