What was the date 299 weeks ago?

Solution

Sunday August 12, 2018

299 weeks ago from today was 12 Aug 2018, a Sunday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2024. It looks like 299 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 subtracting total days, then counting backwards 2093 days on a calendar until getting my solution of Sunday August 12, 2018.

How we calculated 299 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 299 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 05 May, then set the calculation - 299 weeks, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 299 weeks in May will bring us back to April or further.
Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 05 May, factoring in the 5 days left in May to calculate Sunday August 12, 2018
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for August 12

Ways to calculate 299 weeks ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 299 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 5 days in May + 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!).
Use May's calendar: Begin by identifying 05 May on a calendar, note that it’s Sunday, and the total days in April (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 299 times weeks by weeks, subtracting weeks from until your remainder of weeks is 0.
Use excel: For more complex weeks calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-299 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -299, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 299 calendar weeks

299 weeks is Sunday August 12, 2018 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 299 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Sunday August 12, 2018 date.
