Differencer (Labs)

Select a lag value for differencing to represent the number of rows back to use when applying the differencing calculation. For example a lag value of 1 will subtract from each row the value of the previous row. A value of 2 will subtract from each row the value of the row before the previous. It is based on Panda’s Series Differencing method.
