Solution

Friday July 19, 2024

0

8 days ago from today was 19 Jul 2024, a Friday. Since today is Saturday, the calculation could be adjusted for work days. But If you just want the overall days, nothing will change. In subtracting an 8-day span, we count back over a week, which means we need to account for workdays for those of us who prioritize them. Moving backward by more than a week from July suggests we might approach June, given we’re currently in the end of of this month.

How we calculated 8 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 8 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 27 Jul, then set the calculation - 8 days, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 8 days in July will keep us in July and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
Counted backwards days from current day: date - 27 Jul, factoring in the 27 days left in July to calculate Friday July 19, 2024
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Ways to calculate 8 days ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 8 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 27 days in July + 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!).
Use July's calendar: Begin by identifying 27 Jul on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, and the total days in June (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 8 times days by days, subtracting days from until your remainder of days is 0.
Use excel: For more complex days calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-8 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -8, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 8 calendar days

8 days is Friday July 19, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 8 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Friday July 19, 2024 date.
