Hi @Shanvitha_V
According to the logic in a matrix, the subtotal will sum up all child rows under their parent, so 300% is a correct result. However this is a percentage column, usually the actual meaning should be different. To get correct percentage subtotal values, we should use a measure rather than a calculated column in the matrix.
For example, if a percentage column is calculated with
% Column = DIVIDE('Table'[column A] , 'Table'[column B])
Then you need to create a measure to display in the matrix.
% Measure = DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[column A]) , SUM('Table'[column B]))
This is a simple example. If you can provide some sample data to show how this percentage column is calculated, we can try to provide more detailed suggestions.
