Post From: Time Duration of Prior Range Bars

With regard to a Range Bar chart, I use the Bar Time Duration study (hidden) with a Text Display for Study to provide a numeric readout of the elapsed time of the current (in progress) Range Bar.

I would like be able to place my cursor on any prior Range Bar in the chart and get a numeric readout of the duration of that closed prior bar - much as I am able to place my cursor on any prior bar in a chart and and get a numeric readout of the Bid and Ask volume within that bar in my Tool Values Window. Whether displayed in the Tool Values Window or numerically on my chart (as the Text Display for Study does for the current bar) is there a way for me to accomplish what I am trying to do?

I don't have room on my chart to display an additional region for the Bar Time Duration study, and reading a numeric display of the time (or volume) within an individual prior bar is more efficient for me than referencing a separate bar chart.

Presently, I can place my cursor on any bar and get its start time from X axis (time a the bottom of the chart), then place my cursor on the next bar and get its start time, then subtract the first bar start time from the second bar start time in my head (this is what I currently do), but it would be more efficient to just place my cursor on the bar I want the time of and get a numeric read out of that time.

Thanks for any help.
