17 days ago from today was 02 May 2024, a Thursday. When calculating a period over two weeks in the past, it's important to account for the day of the week. Since today is Sunday, the calculation could get a bit more complicated if you want to account for business days becuase it's the weekend. This takes our subtraction across multiple weeks, and with 19 days until the end of May counting backwards from today in the middle of of the month means that subtracting 17 days ago will keep us in May and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.

How we calculated 17 days 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 17 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 19 May, then set the calculation - 17 days, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 17 days in May will keep us in May and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
Counted backwards days from current day: date - 19 May, factoring in the 19 days left in May to calculate Thursday May 02, 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 02

Current date: 19 May
Day of the week: Thursday
New Date: Thursday May 02, 2024
New Date Day of the week: Thursday
Counting backward from May could put you back in Q1 or even the previous year.

Ways to calculate 17 days ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 17 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 19 days in May + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your days 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 19 May on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, 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 17 times days by days, subtracting days from until your remainder of days is 0.
Use excel: For more complex days calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-17 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -17, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 17 calendar days

17 days is Thursday May 02, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 17 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Thursday May 02, 2024 date.
