How to find the difference of multiple event types in non-sequential order?

I have the data with different event types in the data say A to M.. Wanted to find time diffrence which tookfor each event

Example
index=apple source=datapipe
eventType=newyork                                   A
eventType=california                                  B     B-A
eventType=boston                                       C    C-B
eventType=houston                                    D    D-C
eventType=dallas                                        E      E-D
eventType=austin                                        F     F-D
eventType=Irvine                                         G    G-E
eventType=Washington                            H    H-F
eventType=Atlanta                                      I        I-H
eventType=San Antonio                          J         J-I
eventType=Brazil                                       K          K-I
eventType=Mumbai                                   L       L-I
eventType=Delhi                                        M        M-I

Currently I'm using |streamstats range(_time) as diff window=2 ..however it gives the sequential order of the difference.
I want the difference in time in the above format

The eventTypes are Unique and I'm using append in my search in each eventType

It is not clear why streamstats is not doing what you want or what the rationale for the differences is e.g. why F-D and not F-E?

Hi @ITWhisperer , Thanks for your response. I wanted to calculate time difference in the Account conversion. I have the requirement for the calculation in Given format like  F-D and not F-E . streamstats is working for the sequential order but not for non-sequential. I was wondering is there any way to accomplish this

Thanks

It depends on how you determine which values to use - why F-D and not F-E, what is it about austin that means F-D and not F-E? Without knowing what your algorithm is for determining which results to use, it is difficult to say whether it is possible or not.
