I have this type of data:

HourX
070232
168422
267014
366068
465781
566308
667559
769150
869788
970685

and I'd like to have a delta(x) as a new variable delta(x) = Next - Current so the data would look like this:

HourXDelta X
070232-1810
168422-1408
267014...
366068...
465781...
566308...
667559...
769150...
869788...
970685...
