Is it possible to dig UP a z-layer from a lower floor? I tried doing the reverse of normal, but it didn't work, any advice?

You can dig an up staircase from a wall. But remember you will still have to dig a down staircase from the layer above. If you have already mined out the wall, you will have to build a staircase with (b)uild >>(C)onstruct building >>(u)p staircase. Then you can dig a down staircase from the layer above to connect, or if there is empty space above the stairs, you can now build a down staircase.
If you like, you can also build longer stairs with the up/down staircase option.
