How to subtract field values and have the result in a new field?

Hi, please view my example csv.

file1.csv:

Apples  Bananas    Oranges    Grapes
50        44         83         121

I would like a new column that would show the difference in each field from left to right so that the table would then look like this:

Apples  Bananas    Oranges    Grapes    Delta
50        44         83         121       6 
                                         39
                                         38

What SPL could I use to accomplish this?? In the end, I intend to display the values in the Delta field as a line graph visualization across the values of the fruit while they're displayed as a bar graph. I know it doesn't make much sense logically but work with me here lol.

@russell120,

If you have defined number of columns, then try

"your search" |eval Delta=abs(Apples-Bananas)."#".abs(Bananas-Oranges)."#".abs(Oranges-Grapes)|makemv delim="#" Delta
Happy Splunking!
