Solution

Wednesday February 26, 2025

17 days ago from today was 26 Feb 2025, a Wednesday. When calculating a period over two weeks in the past, it's important to account for the day of the week. Since today is Saturday, the calculation could be adjusted for work days. But If you just want the overall days, nothing will change. This takes our subtraction across multiple weeks, and with 15 days until the end of March counting backwards from today in the middle of of the month means that subtracting 17 days ago will bring us back to February or further.

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:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 15 Mar, then set the calculation - 17 days, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 17 days in March will bring us back to February or further.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 15 Mar, factoring in the 15 days left in March to calculate Wednesday February 26, 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 26

  • Current date: 15 Mar
  • Day of the week: Wednesday
  • New Date: Wednesday February 26, 2025
  • New Date Day of the week: Wednesday
  • 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.
  • This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.

Ways to calculate 17 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 17 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 15 days in March + 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 March's calendar: Begin by identifying 15 Mar on a calendar, note that it’s Wednesday, and the total days in February (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.
  3. 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 Wednesday February 26, 2025 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 Wednesday February 26, 2025 date.
