Delta Rows
Computes the delta between incoming rows of tabular data. This function returns a table that includes, for the specified columns, new values for the difference between the current update and the previous update.
Arguments
The function has the following arguments:
*Table: Table for which
*Delta Column Names: Text string that specifies the name of one or more columns for which deltas are to be calculated. Separate column names by a semicolon. This field cannot be left blank.
*Index Column Names: Text string that specifies the name of one or more columns that uniquely identify a row in the table. Separate column names by a semicolon. If left blank, the function calculates deltas for all rows as if they had the same value. The values contained in each index column are concatenated to form a unique index that is used to organize the resulting summary data.
*Replace Data With Deltas: Numerical value (0 or 1) that determines whether the returned table includes columns with the original values from Table. If set to 1, delta values replace original values in columns with the original names. If set to 0, new columns are added. The new columns use the original columns names with Delta prefixed.
*Display Negative Values: If set to 1, delta values less than zero are displayed with a negative sign. If set to 0, delta values less than zero are displayed as zero.
This function returns a table.
