Do it in two steps. First, declare a workflow variable (I'll call it "sample" here). Then, add a workflow step "do calculation" and set sample to xyz-1. The text line Designer shows you will look like Calculate <workflow name>:xyz minus 1 (Output to variable: sample afterwards.

Then, set the xyz value to current value of sample.
