Inverse Running Total

I am attempting to calculate an inverse running total on values. So I would in essence start with a value, 100, and in an indexed format reduce that value based on the next indexed field. 

 

Example: 

 

IndexValueRunning Difference
1100100
21090
34050
44010
520-10

Running Diff = 
MINX( FILTER( INFO, INFO[Index] = 1 ), INFO[Value] )
    - SUMX(
        FILTER( INFO, 1 < INFO[Index] && INFO[Index] <= EARLIER( INFO[Index] ) ),
        INFO[Value]
    )

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
