javascript counter year to date
Hi,
I'm trying to create a counter to put on our website to show how many units we have sold this year to date.
I have attached the code below. I have an average number of 1543 units sold per second, which would give me an approx number of 24 billion by end of June, but I can't seem to reach that number with what I have written. Also the number generated seems to always start with a rounded number which isn't correct.
Any pointers would be really helpful.
Many thanks
