Here is my input table:
TUE MON
----------- -----------
2 -
- 25
27 -
- 48
50 -
- 78
3 -
- 40
42 -
- 62
65 -
- 85
4 -
- 40
42 -
- 62
68 -
- 92
What is the best way to calculate difference between not NULL MON and
previous not NULL TUE
25 - 2
48 - 27
........
62 - 40
92 - 68
I did it by creating separated tables for MON and TUE AND THEN JOIN BASED ON
ROW NUMBER
Any more creative solutions.
Thank's in advance

UPS IT SHOULD BE 62 - 42 NOT 40

Define "previous".
Remember a table is an _unordered_ set of tuples.

if MON is not Null in 2nd row ten Tue Is not null In 1st - previous
MON is not Null is 4th position, Tue is not null in 3rd -previous

OK, first I would merge the two columns into one with COALESCE().
Then use two OLAP functions (e.g. MAX) where one only looks at the
current row and one looks at the preceding row and subtracts them.
Easy as PI ;-)
