Calculate difference between two values in same column without time intelligence

I have single integer column , trying to calculate difference without any date or year or month column 

E.g 
     Column X                            Expected Diff

           14                                           0

             9                                     14-9= 6

             3                                      9-3=6

Thank you

    Hi mh2587 ,

     

    Create an index column and try the following formula:

    Column 2 = 
VAR cur_index = 'Table'[Index]
RETURN
    IF (
        cur_index - 1 < 0,
        0,
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[Column] ),
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Index] = cur_index - 1
        ) - 'Table'[Column]
    )


    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

    mh2587 ,

    You need add an index column in power query the

    a new column =
    [Columnx] - Maxx(filter(Table, [Index] = earlier([Index]) -1 ),[ColumnX])
