Thanks for the fast reply and sorry for my late response.

We have a scraping on 15 seconds. My query interval is 30 min. So I should 
have data. And the Grafana dashboard below where I add difference(changed 
from delta) on legend values I see what I want.  
This difference from the Grafana panel is exactely what I am looking for 
and thought delta would give me. 

Is there an alternative to delta? Like first-last?
