Thank you, I do plan to use D3. However my sheet is hundreds of rows long. I
wish to enter one formula for the whole sheet, not in each row. How to do?

You can not use the value in the same cell containing the formula

You can have this in D3
=C3-C4 to get the difference, between C3 and C4, in D3

For each row of data, I want to display the difference between the value in
cell C of the current row, and C in the next row. eg where "x" is the
current row:
=SUM (C(x+1), -Cx)

How do I create this formula ?
