The previous version had each column's difference from the
previous. The new one had eacho column's difference from the
first column. (Also, there are differences in what "after"
means. ;-)

Here's the "each-relative" version. It sort of depends on if
you want to see each incremental change or the net overall change.

Thanks,
Mike
