0

26 days ago from today was 26 Sep 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 Tuesday and still part of the beginning of the week we won't need to add additional days into next week. This takes our subtraction across multiple weeks, and with 22 days until the end of October counting backwards from today in the end of of the month means that subtracting 26 days ago will bring us back to September or further.

How we calculated 26 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 26 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 22 Oct, then set the calculation - 26 days, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 26 days in October will bring us back to September or further.
Counted backwards days from current day: date - 22 Oct, factoring in the 22 days left in October to calculate Thursday September 26, 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 September 26

Current date: 22 Oct
Day of the week: Thursday
New Date: Thursday September 26, 2024
New Date Day of the week: Thursday
Counting backward from September puts you back into the summer! September is the official start of fall.
This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.

Ways to calculate 26 days ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 26 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 22 days in October + 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 October's calendar: Begin by identifying 22 Oct on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, and the total days in September (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 26 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()-26 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -26, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 26 calendar days

26 days is Thursday September 26, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 26 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 September 26, 2024 date.
