It's hard to provide more guidance without a reproducible example, called a reprex
FAQ: What's a reproducible example (`reprex`) and how do I do one?. In this case, it would be a great benefit if the data were in an easier form to work with.
In this case, assuming the data frame is named entry_orders
, simply
dput(entry_orders)
and you can cut and paste code that will recreate what you are working with.
Assuming there were one, it would be possible to show how to use mutate(variable = some_variable - lag(some_variable)
.
