What was the date 340 weeks ago?

Solution

Thursday October 19, 2017

340 weeks ago from today was 19 Oct 2017, a Thursday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2024. It looks like 340 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 340 weeks.

How we calculated 340 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 340 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 25 Apr, then set the calculation - 340 weeks, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 340 weeks in April will bring us back to March or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 25 Apr, factoring in the 11 days left in April to calculate Thursday October 19, 2017
  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 19

  • Current date: 25 Apr
  • Day of the week: Thursday
  • New Date: Thursday October 19, 2017
  • 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 340 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 340 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 11 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 25 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 340 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()-340 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -340, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 340 calendar weeks

340 weeks is Thursday October 19, 2017 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 340 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 19, 2017 date.
