I think the crucial bit of information that makes this different to using something like (c - LAG(c, 1)) OVER (...) is that it will skip over any number of NULL values to find the previous value to take the difference from.

@claude Update difference to make this distinction clear:
it uses the last previous non-NULL value to calculate the difference.
