Calculated Value in Script Editor

Dear all,

I would like to create a new field value  in Backend as A-B 

A:
Load * Inline
[
Ledger,Category,Value
A,Internal,100
B,Internal,500
A,Cash,200
B,Cash,500
];

 

Desired Result would be 

Ledger,Category,Value
A,Internal,100
B,Internal,500

A-B,Internal,-400
A,Cash,200
B,Cash,500

A-B,Cash,-300

Value

Resident A

Where Ledger = 'A'

Left Join  (TEMP1)

LOAD 

Category,

Value AS ValueB

Resident A

Where Ledger = 'A'

Concatenate (A)

Category,

Value - ValueB as Value

Resident TEMP1;
