Next value against current value

Hi All,

I have data like this

Mno Start

1	07:30
1	08:10
1	08:30
1	09:15
1	09:47
1	10:35
1	11:22
1	13:05
1	13:41
1	14:15
1	15:40
1	16:15
2	11:07
2	16:59
2	13:30
2	11:51
2	13:19
2	07:27
2	08:22
2	08:33
2	17:21
2	13:41
2	15:09

I want to get a new column which will populate next value of start in new column with respect to each Mno.

Mno	start	Next_start
1	07:30	08:10
1	08:10	08:30
1	08:30	09:15
1	09:15	09:47
1	09:47	10:35
1	10:35	11:22
1	11:22	13:05
1	13:05	13:41
1	13:41	14:15
1	14:15	15:40
1	15:40	16:15
1	16:15	00:00
2	11:07	16:59
2	16:59	13:30
2	13:30	11:51
2	11:51	13:19
2	13:19	07:27
2	07:27	08:22
2	08:22	08:33
2	08:33	17:21
2	17:21	13:41
2	13:41	15:09
2	15:09	00:00

I tried it with below expression but i am not getting expected result.

Load *,

if (Mno=previous(MNo),peek('Start'),0) as Next_Stop resident tab1 order by Mno desc

could someone please help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

try this below.

The trick here is because we are sorting Start in descending order your previous function will act as next.

[Table]:

LOAD * INLINE
[
Mno,Start,
1,07:30
1,08:10
1,08:30
1,09:15
1,09:47
1,10:35
1,11:22
1,13:05
1,13:41
1,14:15
1,15:40
1,16:15
2,11:07
2,16:59
2,13:30
2,11:51
2,13:19
2,07:27
2,08:22
2,08:33
2,17:21
2,13:41
2,15:09
](delimiter is ',');

[Table]:
load
Mno as Mno1,
Start as Start1,
if(previous(Mno)=Mno,previous( Start ),0) as Next_Stop
resident [Table] order by Mno,Start Desc;

resulting table :

hope it helps

Regards
