Hi All,
I have a table like this
Date Amount
09/01/2008 500
09/02/2008 1500
09/03/2008 3500
I want a output which is as follows -
Date Amount
09/02/2008 1000
09/03/2008 2000
where the amount column is the diference from the previous date so in this example 2nd sept amount is the difference bet 2nd and 1st sept so also for 3rd sept amount.
Can some help to write a query for this.

Hi Mathew
What do you have in the way of pk / indexes in this table?
Cheers

That pretty much identifies this as a homework question. Rather than solve this for you, here's an article which discusses more than one method for dealing with this type of problem, and the relative merits and drawbacks of each. Read the article, try one or two of the methods, and if you're still unsure, then repost. Good luck!

2000 or 2005?
What happens if a date is missing?
Is it homework?

Please post SQL 2000 questions in the SQL 2000 forums in the future. Posting in the 2005 forums means that people will give you 2005-specific solutions.
Are the dates always consecutive? Is it possible for there ever to be a date missing? Do the dates have various times associated with them, or is the time always set to midnight?
