What was the date 26 weeks ago?

Solution

Thursday October 24, 2024

0

26 weeks ago from today was 24 Oct 2024, a Thursday. We’re now subtracting quarters of the year. This means 26 weeks from 24 Apr changes fiscal calendars and could even push us into previous years. We’re currently in end of April with 24 days left; this will bring us back to March or further. When I calculate backwards for larger weeks before today, I like to start by subtracting the days, then count backwards to find the correct weeks.

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

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 24 Apr, then set the calculation - 26 weeks, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 26 weeks in April will bring us back to March or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 24 Apr, factoring in the 24 days left in April to calculate Thursday October 24, 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 October 24

  • Current date: 24 Apr
  • Day of the week: Thursday
  • New Date: Thursday October 24, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Thursday
  • October marks the start of Q4 so counting backward will put you back into the 3 fiscal quarter.
  • This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.
  • The solution crosses into a different year.

Ways to calculate 26 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 26 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 24 days in April + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your weeks and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
  2. Use April's calendar: Begin by identifying 24 Apr on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, and the total days in March (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 weeks by weeks, subtracting weeks from until your remainder of weeks is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex weeks 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 weeks.

Working weeks in 26 calendar weeks

26 weeks is Thursday October 24, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 26 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Thursday October 24, 2024 date.
