how can I compute the difference between any element and the previous for each
column :
aa={x[[2,1]]-x[[1,1]], x[[2,2]]-x[[1,2]],...,x[[2,n]]-x[[1,n]]}
{x[[3,1]]-x[[2,1]], x[[3,2]]-x[[2,2]],...,x[[3,n]]-x[[2,n]]}

{x[[m,1]]-x[[m-1,1]],x[[m,2]]-x[[m-1,2]],...,x[[m,n]]-x[[m-1,n]]}

I built this code but it does not work
r=Array[0,{m,n}]
For[j=1,j=n,j++
r[[i,j]]=Table[a[[i+1,j]]-a[[i,j]],{i,1,m-1,1}]]
