How to do a simple ratio calculation << row2 value/row1 value >> and so on for the whole data set?

The next aspect of my problem relates to doing this ratio calculation for a varying number of grouped observations. If there are many groups in the data and each group has several rows and the number of rows do not match, how we can do it then. I can try to work around the second issue, but would need some quick help for the first issue.
