What was the date 5 days ago?

Solution

Monday April 22, 2024

5 days ago from today is 22 Apr 2024, a Monday. Calculating a short time span like 5 days in the past is typically straightforward. For periods under a week, it's a matter of simple backward counting, often doable with just the days of the week. Since today is Saturday, the calculation could be adjusted for work days. But If you just want the overall days, nothing will change. – I generally backtrack using the days of the week for quick reference. Additionally, we’ll need to consider that with 8 days until the end of April, being in the end of of the month means that 5 days ago will keep us in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years..

How we calculated 5 days 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 5 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 27 Apr, then set the calculation - 5 days, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 5 days in April will keep us in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 27 Apr, factoring in the 8 days left in April to calculate Monday April 22, 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 April 22

Ways to calculate 5 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 5 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 8 days in April + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your days 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 27 Apr on a calendar, note that it’s Monday, 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 5 times days by days, subtracting days from until your remainder of days is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex days calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-5 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -5, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 5 calendar days

5 days is Monday April 22, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 5 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Monday April 22, 2024 date.
