What was the date 49 days ago?


Solution

Sunday March 31, 2024

0

49 days ago from today was 31 Mar 2024, a Sunday. As we approach calculations over month in the past, the 31 days in May play significant roles, alongside 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. Counting backwards from today skips several weekends, meaning that subtracting 49 days takes us from the middle of of May to potentially crossing far beyond May or April. For those of us focusing on workdays, subtracting 49 days ago necessitates adjustments for the fiscal calendar (don’t worry, I've accounted for it below).

How we calculated 49 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 49 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 19 May, then set the calculation - 49 days, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 49 days in May will bring us back to April or further.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 19 May, factoring in the 19 days left in May to calculate Sunday March 31, 2024
  4. Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for March 31

  • Current date: 19 May
  • Day of the week: Sunday
  • New Date: Sunday March 31, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Sunday
  • March is usually not, but sometimes super tricky. Factor in Leap Years and Easter, which falls on varying dates each year, if you need a date in the past.
  • This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.

Ways to calculate 49 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 49 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!).
  2. Use May's calendar: Begin by identifying 19 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 49 times days by days, subtracting days from until your remainder of days is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex days calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-49 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -49, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 49 calendar days

49 days is Sunday March 31, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 49 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Sunday March 31, 2024 date.
