Count Up Timer?

[Mark Smith]

You want the convert command. convert 1605553200 from seconds to dateitems gives you 2020,11,16,19,0,0,2 (lookup dateitems). convert the date && the time to seconds gives the date/time right now = 1635805440, then do the same as step one with that gives you 2021,11,1,22,24,0,2. Do a little subtraction and you get 1 yr, 0 months, 15 days, 3 hours, 24 mins, 0 secs.

For example, "How long have you been alive?".   This needs to be precise – need to account for leap years, days in month, etc.
