Just posting a more complex join using two different tables created with Gordon's foundation. Excuse the specific object names, but you'll get the gist. Gets the percentage change in samples from one to the next.

SELECT 
      fm0.SAMPLE curFMSample
    , fm1.SAMPLE nextFMSample
    , fm0.TEMPERATURE curFMTemp
    , fm1.TEMPERATURE nextFMTemp
    , ABS(CAST((fm0.Temperature - fm1.Temperature) AS DECIMAL(4, 0)) / CAST(fm0.TEMPERATURE AS DECIMAL(4, 0))) AS fmTempChange
    , fm0.GAUGE curFMGauge
    , fm1.GAUGE nextFMGauge
    , ABS(CAST((fm0.GAUGE - fm1.GAUGE) AS DECIMAL(4, 4)) / CAST(fm0.GAUGE AS DECIMAL(4, 4))) AS fmGaugeChange
    , fm0.WIDTH curFMWidth
    , fm1.WIDTH nextFMWidth
    , ABS(CAST((fm0.Width - fm1.Width) AS DECIMAL(4, 2)) / CAST(fm0.Width AS DECIMAL(4, 2))) AS fmWidthChange
    , cl0.TEMPERATURE curClrTemp
    , cl1.TEMPERATURE nextClrTemp
    , ABS(CAST((cl0.Temperature - cl1.Temperature) AS DECIMAL(4, 0)) / CAST(cl0.TEMPERATURE AS DECIMAL(4, 0))) AS clrTempChange
FROM 
    dbo.COIL_FINISHING_MILL_EXIT_STR02 fm0
    INNER JOIN dbo.COIL_FINISHING_MILL_EXIT_STR02 fm1 ON (fm0.SAMPLE = fm1.SAMPLE - 1 AND fm1.coil = fm0.coil)
    INNER JOIN dbo.COIL_COILER_STR02 cl0 ON fm0.coil = cl0.coil AND fm0.SAMPLE = cl0.SAMPLE
    INNER JOIN dbo.COIL_COILER_STR02 cl1 ON (cl0.SAMPLE = cl1.SAMPLE - 1 AND cl1.coil = cl0.coil)
