This was helpful. I have reversed the order of the if/else statements such that it runs faster for recent dates

@frroliveira can you also post your code in comments please ?

in line number 11, you might want to divide difference of days with 30 , instead of 365, in case of months.

can you post your code, pls?

Just reverse the if/else statements starting with ''JustNow''
