OK, I get it now, you need diffs between the numbers inside of a single multi-value field! try this:

| makeresults 
| eval mvfield="10 30 100 234 64 432 3 632 87"
| makemv mvfield
| eval mvdiff = tonumber(mvindex(mvfield, 0)) - tonumber(mvindex(mvfield, 1))
| foreach 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 
    [eval _t3Mp = tonumber(mvindex(mvfield, <<FIELD>>)) - tonumber(mvindex(mvfield, <<FIELD>> + 1))
  | eval mvdiff = mvappend(mvdiff, _t3Mp) ]
| fields - _t3Mp
| eval mvdiff = mvappend(mvdiff, "N/A")

This was much easier for me:

 

eval diff=mvmap(field1,if(isnull(mvfind(field2,field1)),field1,null))

Beware thet the second parameter for mvfind is a regex, so it should be limited by "^" and "$" if you want the best match.

Thanks for this small and easy one-liner that solved my issue.

Awesome worked like a charm .. How can i project the differences on a chart now ?
Do i need to expand them first ?

I am not sure what you mean but maybe just ask a new question because this seems like a separate problem.
