Firstly I would apologize for the framing of the question. I am an infant with regards to my coding skills.
I am trying to achieve a count-up sequence on my Squarespace website and so far I have gotten till here (code below). Now I am trying to setup this code in such a way that in line
<div class="sqs-col sqs-col-4 counter-value" data-count="179" data-desc="Days completed">0</div>
Instead of manually entering a value for data count, I want to calculate the number of days passed since the date that the company started. Something similar to one found here. Once that is calculated the count-up sequence will consider that number as a data-count value.
Now I have seen various count up timer codes on the forums and on different websites, however, haven't managed to successfully integrate that with the code I have here.
Any help with this would be appreciated.

var a = 0;
$(window).on('load', function() {
var oTop = $('#counter').offset().top - window.innerHeight;
if (a == 0 && $(window).scrollTop() > oTop) {
$('.counter-value').each(function() {
var $this = $(this),
countTo = $this.attr('data-count');
$({
countNum: $this.text()
}).animate({
countNum: countTo
},

step: function() {
$this.text(Math.floor(this.countNum));
},
complete: function() {
$this.text(this.countNum);
}
});

a = 1;
}
