Hi,

Afraid the formatting gremlins got to your data before we saw it,
so I am taking a guess at what you want to achieve.

What is the difference value at 04:00? Your times all appear to be the 
same. You doubt you mean you run the program at 04:00 every day, because
that will not update any rows that don't yet exist, and anyway NO2_RAW + 
(LAQN_NO2 - NO2_RAW) simply equals LAQN_NO2.

Once calculated, I would either store it in a new field (and add to 
NO2_RAW on every use), or copy the whole day's dataset to a new table. 
That way, should you have to re-run, you have not lost the old value of 
NO2_RAW.

Writing the code will come after you understand exactly what to achieve, 
and how a computer could do it.

Regards
