Answer 1

I used the following to answer this question:

SELECT t1.*,t1.balance-t2.balance Daily_Change FROM TestData t1 LEFT JOIN TestData t2 ON t2.report_date=DATE_SUB(t1.report_date, INTERVAL 1 DAY) AND t1.account=t2.account ORDER BY t1.report_date,t1.account

Answer 2

You can use a left join:

select t.*,
       (t.balance - tprev.balance) as daily_change
from `table` t left join
     `table` tprev
     on t.date = tprev.date  + interval 1 day;
