What was the date 1 day ago?


Solution

Thursday February 06, 2025

0

1 day ago from today is 06 Feb 2025, a Thursday. 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 Friday, well need to account for the weekend if you care about work days. If not, the calculation will remain the same. – I generally backtrack using the days of the week for quick reference. Additionally, we’ll need to consider that with 7 days until the end of February, being in the early part of of the month means that 1 day ago will keep us in February 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:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 07 Feb, then set the calculation - 1 day, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 1 day in February will keep us in February and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
  3. Counted backwards day from current day: date - 07 Feb, factoring in the 7 days left in February to calculate Thursday February 06, 2025
  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 February 06

  • Current date: 07 Feb
  • Day of the week: Thursday
  • New Date: Thursday February 06, 2025
  • New Date Day of the week: Thursday
  • Remember February has 28 or 29 days depending on Leap Year! This may not impact time in the past, but it will impact future dates.

Ways to calculate 1 day ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 1 day is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 7 days in February + 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!).
  2. Use February's calendar: Begin by identifying 07 Feb on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, and the total days in January (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.
  3. 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 Thursday February 06, 2025 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 Thursday February 06, 2025 date.
