This is a huge step forward:
#+NAME: my-table
| Numbers |
|---------|
| 1 |
| 5 |
| 8 |
| 12 |
| 15 |
| Line | exp. Reference1 | exp. Reference2 | exp. Difference |
|------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------|
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| 3 | 8 | 5 | 3 |
| 4 | 12 | 8 | 4 |
| 5 | 15 | 12 | 3 |
| Line | actual Reference1 | actual Reference2 | Difference |
|------+-------------------+-------------------+------------|
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 5 | 5 | 0 |
| 3 | 8 | 8 | 0 |
| 4 | 12 | 12 | 0 |
| 5 | 15 | 15 | 0 |
#+TBLFM: $2=if(2 == @#, 0, remote(my-table,@@#$1))::$3=if(2 == @#, 0,
remote(my-table,@@#-1$1))::$4=if(2 == @#, 0,
(remote(my-table,@@#$1)-remote(my-table,@@#-1$1)))
Somehow, the "-1" in "@@#-1$1" does not have any effect: "@@#$1" and
"@@#-1$" gives the same results.
Do you have any idea why?

Woha! I didn't know that! And I also didn't know =C-c }= for
displaying column/row numbers :-O *This* is going to be handy for me
;-)
