Hi.
I think they're described inhelp clearly.
Above(),Below(),After(),Before() can be used in charts to evaluate expression for a dimension value that is offset relative to current.
Previous() canbe used in script to get field value from previous row of the source table.
It's usually considered with peek(). The main difference is that by default peek() returns value from destination table instead.

Addition:
before/after are for the pivot tables only
above/below for anything else (where applicable)

Many thanks to whiteline & Michael.
Two good answers.
Obviously. the people do not read manuals too often.

In defence of them I would say that only very thoughtful person could find the difference between peek and previous in help 😃
As well as features that Michael has mentioned.
