Please see the matrix I have.
I have a value of 1 per row and the % of grand total, I have the same for 2.
I want to create a calulation to show the percentage when I perform (=%GT 2 - %GT 1).
I have created these grand totals via simply right clicking onto the 1 or 2 value and selecting show value as.
For additional information the initial column I have blanked out is just a unique identifier for each total.
I appreciate any tips, many thanks!

Hi @andrewb95
I created a sample, and all the values in the matrix are measures. But their formula is different from what you said, but the nature is the same.
My original data :
(1) Create a measure to group and sum column 1 and column 2.
Measure 1 = CALCULATE(SUM(MyTable[1]),ALLEXCEPT(MyTable,MyTable[ID]))
Measure 2 = CALCULATE(SUM(MyTable[2]),ALLEXCEPT(MyTable,MyTable[ID]))
(2) Calculate the percentage of each row of data to the total data .
%GT1 = DIVIDE([Measure 1],CALCULATE(SUM('MyTable'[1]), ALLSELECTED('MyTable'[ID])))
%GT2 = DIVIDE([Measure 2],CALCULATE(SUM('MyTable'[2]), ALLSELECTED('MyTable'[ID])))
(3) Calculate the difference between two percentages
diff = [%GT2]- [%GT1]
The final result is as shown :
I have attached my pbix file ,you can refer to it .

Create a measure for the %GT1 & %GT2
%GT1 =
DIVIDE(sum(MyTable[1]),
CALCULATE(SUM('MyTable'[1]), ALLSELECTED('MyTable'[ID])))
%GT2 =
DIVIDE(sum(MyTable[2]),
CALCULATE(SUM('MyTable'[2]), ALLSELECTED('MyTable'[ID])))
myresult = [%GT2]- [%GT1]
this will give the following result

Hi @Wimverh I am not too sure this calculation will work as I didn't mention all the items I have in my table are already measures.
1 and 2 are calculated in the following way:
