Hi All,

I would like to calculate, fastest growing company(each document is a company) in Germany for the year 2016 with the below formula,  
(New value - original value)\*100/original value  
I have below structure in my ES index,

> ```
> {
> "allData": [{
> "currency": [{
> "pAndL": {
> "netSales": 59955
> }
> }],
> "stmtDate": "2015-03-31",
> "isLatest": true
> },
> {
> "currency": [{
> "pAndL": {
> "netSales": 63134
> }
> }],
> "stmtDate": "2014-03-31"
> }
> ]
> }
> 
> ```

From the above structure New value will be netSales where isLatest is true and original value will be netSales from other object.  
Along with the above two object sometimes I may contain more than two objects.  
Could someone please help me on writing Elasticsearch query for fulfilling this requirement.

Thanks,  
Ram
