SELECT date_part('year',quotadate) AS Year, date_part('quarter',quotadate) AS Quarter, SalesQuota AS SalesQuota,  
       LEAD(SalesQuota,1,0) OVER (ORDER BY date_part('year',quotadate), date_part('quarter',quotadate)) AS NextQuota,  
   SalesQuota - LEAD(SalesQuota,1,0) OVER (ORDER BY date_part('year',quotadate), date_part('quarter',quotadate)) AS Diff
