How to transform a table

If I have the data in following format:

time        session           event
t1          session1            actionA
t2          session1            actionB
t3          session1            actionC
t4          session1            actionA
t5          session2            actionB
t6          session2            actionC

want to write a splunk query to transform it to this format:

from         to           count    timetaken
actionA      actionB      1        (t2-t1)
actionB      actionC.     2        (t3-t2) + (t5+t6)
actionC      actionA      1        (t4-t3)

can someone recommend an expression for this?

How about this?
