It shows the change in a value of a row from its previous row.  Think of unemployment numbers: you have column for month and then another for # of unemployed.  You would use the running-difference to show the change of month 2 from month 1.

MonthNum of UnemployedChange
January200,000*
February160,000-40,000
March220,00060,000
