What was the date 1 day ago?

Solution

Sunday May 19, 2024

0

1 day ago from today is 19 May 2024, a Sunday. Calculating a short time span like 1 days in the past is typically straightforward. For periods under a week, it's a matter of simple backward counting, often doable with just the days of the week. Since today is Monday, we'll need to account for a full week before hitting weekend days. – I generally backtrack using the days of the week for quick reference. Additionally, we’ll need to consider that with 20 days until the end of May, being in the middle of of the month means that 1 day ago will keep us in May and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.

How we calculated 1 day before today

All of our day calculators are measured and QA'd by our engineer. Read more about the Git process here. But here's how 1 day ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 20 May, then set the calculation - 1 day, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 1 day in May will keep us in May and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
Counted backwards day from current day: date - 20 May, factoring in the 20 days left in May to calculate Sunday May 19, 2024
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for May 19

Current date: 20 May
Day of the week: Sunday
New Date: Sunday May 19, 2024
New Date Day of the week: Sunday
Counting backward from May could put you back in Q1 or even the previous year.

Ways to calculate 1 day ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 1 day is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 20 days in May + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your day and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
Use May's calendar: Begin by identifying 20 May on a calendar, note that it’s Sunday, and the total days in April (trust me, you’ll need this for smaller calculations) and days until last year (double trust me, you'll need this for larger calculations). From there, count backwards 1 times day by day, subtracting day from until your remainder of day is 0.
Use excel: For more complex day calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-1 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -1, cell:cell) for working day.

Working day in 1 calendar day

1 day is Sunday May 19, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 1 day and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Sunday May 19, 2024 date.
