@media screen and (max-width: calc(2000px-1px)) {
.col { width: 200px; }
}
The value after subtraction s
Pinal's answer is great, but your CSS wouldn't work anyways. You need spaces separating your units. In CSS 2000px-1px
would be considered a single value, which obviously isn't a valid unit. It should be 2000px - 1px
.
I'm currently using Chrome 66 and calc works fine in media queries.
There is no support for media queries with calc() in IE11 (Up to October 2020).

ANSWER WAS EDITED 13.02.2018:
Using calc
in media queries is supported by the spec, but support was only implemented by browsers recently (February 2018). Currently, calc
in media queries is supported by Safari Technology Preview 49+, Chrome 66+, and Firefox 59+. See MDN's calc() page for the most up-to-date information.
Support for use of calc()
in media queries is browser-dependent HOWEVER the use of mixed units (e.g. em and px at same time) have limited or no current support. Please take a look at this JSFiddle (which tests 4 current browsers - Chrome 80.0.3987.163, Opera 67.0.3575.115, Firefox 74.0.1, and Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0) to verify.
For example, these media queries are valid for certain browsers (Chrome 80.0.3987.163, Opera 67.0.3575.115, and Firefox 74.0.1 but NOT Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0)
@media (min-width:calc(2em - 1em)) { div { color: green } } // valid
@media (min-width:calc(2px - 1px)) { div { color: green } } // valid
whereas this media query is only valid in Firefox 74.0.1
@media (min-width:calc(1em - 1px)) { div { color: green } } // different units are "mixed" in same calc() -----> invalid except Firefox
