Display/ Calculate Inverse Percentage

Hi,
I have a requirement to display a field value as % percentage. However, this has to be inverse percentage.
For example, the field contains values such as 0.73, 0.82, 0.91, etc.

The new value should be : 1-0.73 = 0.27 = 27%, 18%, and 9% and so on. 

Can this be done through DAX or any other calc?

Yes a DAX measure is all you need.  How you write it will come down to what you need to reference.  Lets assume its a field that you want the inverse of:

 

 

Inverse Measure = 1 - SUM('YourTable'[YourField])

 

 

The above assumes you are just putting a field inside a table visual and letting all of the context do what needs to be done.  Putting this measure in the table should have the same results. 

 

It doens't have to be a SUM, it could be A
