Total editing time

[@Homeonthecouch]

Hello.
Is there a way of enabling the Total Editing Time that is displayed in the
properties?
Word does the time tracking but I can't find a way to enable it in excel.
I have searched google but found nothing.
Does anybody know if it is possible to enable it?

Excel doesn't keep track of this property.

Although Excel can't track editing time, here's an idea.
In Microsoft Outlook, one can track Office documents thru the Journal.
I believe the "Duration" field is the time the document was opened, which is
different than the time the document was edited.
Here's a technique from within the Journal. Have a View that Sorts by
Subject. Select all the entries for your document, and Copy (Ctrl+c). When
you paste into Excel, the pasted table will include the Heading Row. (ie
Subject, Start, Duration...etc)
Again, not ideal, but maybe a workaround.
