This might be something simple, but I am confused. Can anybody please tell me what does this -100% in excel formula is doing? I try to dig through online, it just points to me for meaning. 

=(8.7/8.9)-100%

I am trying to create the exact same thing in Power BI, but it will give me an error message. How to create this excel formula in Power BI?  enter image description here Thank you.

Can anybody please tell me what does this -100% in excel formula is doing?

It's calculating how much is missing from avg_Daily_submitted vs avg_Daily_Reqquired

You did 8.7 but your target was 8.9, so you failed. How much failed? =(8.7/8.9)-100%

By the way, doing =(8.7/8.9)-100% = (8.7/8.9)-1.

In this case, it returns -2.25% and -2,25% = -0,2, and that's how much you failed.
