How to build a chronological event list

I have an index that lists (among other things) a device, event date, and level (1-4). Devices change levels at random intervals. I need to build a search that shows how long a particular device has been at a certain level, but I can't do a simple count; if a device is at level 1 for three days, goes to level 2 for five days, then back to level 1 for two days, a count will show five days which is obviously incorrect. How can I generate a 'Consecutive days at current level' field?
