Default Calculate Elapsed Date and Time

i might be missing something, but

H4-G4

gives you actual time elapsed - format however you feel like (hours - days &
hours - days & hours and mins)

I have a goal to try and figure out how to Calculate Elapsed Date and Time
and then format it for a specific way. Here is what I have thus far:
Date Requested: [Cell G4 reads:] 03/25/1994 01:30:12 PM
Date Submitted: [Cell H4 reads:] 5/1/1998 12:00:00 PM

Now I can calcualte the Date Interval Elapsed with the following formula:
=YEAR(H4)-YEAR(G4)-IF(OR(MONTH(H4)<MONTH(G4),AND(MONTH(H4)=MONTH(G4),
DAY(H4)<DAY(G4))),1,0)&" years, "&MONTH(H4)-MONTH(G4)+IF(AND(MONTH(H4)
<=MONTH(G4),DAY(H4)<DAY(G4)),11,IF(AND(MONTH(H4)<M ONTH(G4),DAY(H4)
=DAY(G4)),12,IF(AND(MONTH(H4)MONTH(G4),DAY(H4)<D AY(G4)),-1)))&" months,

"&H4-DATE(YEAR(H4),MONTH(H4)-IF(DAY(H4)<DAY(G4),1,0),DAY(G4))&" days"

The result is: 4 years, 1 months, 6.5 days
As you can see this only calculates the Year, Month and Days.

I want the formula to include the Time information elapsed but I can't
figure it out.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
