subtract two columns by group of third column

suppose I have the following table 

 

idgroupval1
1A2
2A3
3A4
4B4
5B6
6B2

 

How would I get the following result?

idgroupval1diff
1A20
2A31
3A41
4B40
5B62
6B2-4

 

Explanation of new column diff:

1. It is the difference between the current row and previous row of column val1

2. Whenever a new group starts in Group column the difference resets to 0

 

Essestially, the problem is how to subtract current value from it's previous value in a column by group (based on some third column)?

@Anonymous , Try a new column like

 

new column =
var _max = maxx(filter(table, [group] = earlier([group]) && [ID] < earlier([ID])),[ID])
return
val1 - maxx(filter(table, [group] = earlier([group]) && [ID] = _max),[val1])
