I have a problem, I want to track the amount of time a player spends on my game, and then upload it to a google sheets table when they leave. The time the player spends in the game is kept inside an Intvalue which I need to constantly update. I've attempted to use things like Time and tick but those don't seem to work. Any other ideas on how to track time a player spent in a game using my Intvalue system?

Didn't fully test this, but this should be around the answer you're looking for. :)
local playerTracker = {}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
playerTracker[player] = 0
spawn(function()
while wait(1) do
for i, data in pairs(playerTracker) do
data = data + 1
end
end
end)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
local data = playerTracker[player]
--Store data to Google here
end)

There is no need to have a loop per player
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Workspace/DistributedGameTime
^ Kingdom5 provided that.
Here, do this, I put a variable which will make the timer subtract itself by one
local a = 10 -- change to what ever time...
repeat
wait(1) -- Every second this helps the the timer go down by one
-- Place Stuff (Put your code in here, what ever you want)
a = a - 1 -- don't change or else the timer won't work unless you change the -1 to something else.
print(a) -- Check to see if it works..
until a == 0
where it says "Place stuff", put your code their.
I hope this helps, accept answer if it does.

no need to use time or tick if it's simply keeping track of seconds played. and use datastore.
