Convert a numeric to percetange after using measure

I have two values: Sales and Gross Sales. I created a measure to calculate the margin. The measure looks like below

 

Margin = 100 - (SUM(financials[ Sales])/SUM(financials[Gross Sales])*100)

Is there a way to display the value in percentage. It's 7.20%

Hi @s15,

 

First of all change your measure to: 

Margin = 1 - (SUM(financials[ Sales])/SUM(financials[Gross Sales]))

Then just select the measure and on the bar choose Modeling and Percentage and your measure will be in %.
