What was the date 280 weeks ago?

Solution

Wednesday December 12, 2018

280 weeks ago from today was 12 Dec 2018, a Wednesday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2024. It looks like 280 weeks from now will bring us back to pre 2023 and we’ll need to factor this into our subtraction because it will change the calendar and fiscal years. For larger calculations like this, I start by breaking calendar.day_name[solution.weekday()]n the year, then move into 280 weeks.

How we calculated 280 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 280 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 24 Apr, then set the calculation - 280 weeks, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 280 weeks in April will bring us back to March or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 24 Apr, factoring in the 18 days left in April to calculate Wednesday December 12, 2018
  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 December 12

  • Current date: 24 Apr
  • Day of the week: Wednesday
  • New Date: Wednesday December 12, 2018
  • New Date Day of the week: Wednesday
  • December marks the end of the year, so account for all the out of office notifications when counting backwards.
  • 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 280 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 280 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 18 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 Wednesday, 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 280 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()-280 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -280, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 280 calendar weeks

280 weeks is Wednesday December 12, 2018 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 280 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Wednesday December 12, 2018 date.
