What was the date 480 weeks ago?


Solution

Thursday February 12, 2015


480 weeks ago from today was 12 Feb 2015, a Thursday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2024. It looks like 480 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 480 weeks.

How we calculated 480 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 480 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 25 Apr, then set the calculation - 480 weeks, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 480 weeks in April will bring us back to March or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 25 Apr, factoring in the 18 days left in April to calculate Thursday February 12, 2015
  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 February 12

  • Current date: 25 Apr
  • Day of the week: Thursday
  • New Date: Thursday February 12, 2015
  • New Date Day of the week: Thursday
  • Remember February has 28 or 29 days depending on Leap Year! This may not impact time in the past, but it will impact future dates.
  • 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 480 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 480 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 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 480 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()-480 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -480, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 480 calendar weeks

480 weeks is Thursday February 12, 2015 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 480 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 February 12, 2015 date.
