Subtract the value 1 to a component of the code

I have this formula on a Matlab code:

    outA = 100 - ((cell2mat(A(lin3:lin4,14))-1) ./ size(A(lin3:lin4,:),1))*100;

The problem is I want to subtract to this compenent 'size(A(lin3:lin4,:),1)' the value 1 before multiplying the whole by 100.

The formula I am replicating is:

outA= 100 - [x-1/y-1]]*100

being x= A ranking that goes from 1 to n

and y= the size of the ranking

Can someone help me? Thanks

I’m not certain what you want, but this works with the data I created for it:

A = rand(20);                   % Create Matrix ‘A’
lin3 = 3;                       % Guessing, Value Not Provided
lin4 = 4;                       % Guessing, Value Not Provided
x = A(lin3:lin4,14);            % Define ‘x’
y = size(A(lin3:lin4,:),1);     % Define ‘y’
outA= 100 - (x-1)./(y-1)*100;   % Calculate ‘outA’

I’m assuming here that A is already an (MxN) double matrix (after the cell2mat call). I defined x and y as I assume you intend them to be defined, then use your equation for outA to produce the result. I used the (./) operator to do element-by-element division, since I don’t know what your actual data are, or what x and y would be.
