manipulating different table rows

Hi, 

I want to create the following excel table using splunk. The first 3 columns are based on the output of a query, something like this: 
<query>index=mfpublic sourcetype=SMF100 IFCID=1 DB2_SHARING_GROUP_NAME=$ssid_tok$ DB2_SUBSYSTEM="DBXH"
| table _time DB2_SSID CPU_accumulated
</query>
The last column is the result of a math operation between first row and second row. Using Excel, column D has the formula: C2-C3 in the first row, then C3-C4 in the second, then C4-C5, and so on. 

(A) Time(B) DB2_SSID(C) CPU_accumulated(D) Difference

17-1-2022 11:16DBXH35527994619793
17-1-2022 11:15DBXH355260153-

 

Is it possible to do this math operation between columns from different rows to create another column ? 

After having this "column D" I want to create a line chart based on this information. 

Thanks a lot for your help !!

You can use streamstats only you would need to reverse the order of your events (from your example)

| makeresults
| eval _raw="Time	DB2_SSID	CPU_accumulated	Difference
17-1-2022 11:20	DBXH	355363188	19569
17-1-2022 11:19	DBXH	355343619	19437
17-1-2022 11:18	DBXH	355324182	21579
17-1-2022 11:17	DBXH	355302603	22657
17-1-2022 11:16	DBXH	355279946	19793
17-1-2022 11:15	DBXH	355260153	-"
| multikv forceheader=1
| table Time DB2_SSID CPU_accumulated
| reverse
| streamstats range(CPU_accumulated) as Difference window=2
| reverse

Yes, it worked ! thank you. 

I changed the sort option in the query, instead of using the reverse you suggested.
