How to display Inverse Percentage for a Field?

Hi,
I have a field that displays the value as 0.73, 0.82, 0.91, etc,.

The need is to display these values as Percentage. 
But, this needs to be inverse percentage - that is: 1-0.73 = 0.27 ~ 27%. 

Is there a DAX formula that can help with this?

you can try to create a new column

Column = 1-'Table'[Column1]
and set the data type to percentage

Hi,
Thanks for showing the calc. I see that it works when I add a new column in the same table. 
However, when I create the calculated column under Measures folder, it just displays 1.00 in the report.
Just curious, as to why would PBI calc behave like this.
Calc is simple = 1-Orginal col.

So, I tried this - 

New Measure = 1-MAX(table name [ columne name]), and it still displays 1.00.

Thus, for now, I shall retain this as a new column in the current table, since that is working.
