What was the date 8 weeks ago?

Solution

Friday March 01, 2024

8 weeks ago from today was 01 Mar 2024, a Friday. Week conversions that span across multiple months now must consider the 29 days left in early part of April because 8 weeks will keep us in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.. Run this calculation first by understanding where we’re at in April, identify if we’ll drop into March, and count backwards by 8.

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

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 26 Apr, then set the calculation - 8 weeks, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 8 weeks in April will keep us in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 26 Apr, factoring in the 29 days left in April to calculate Friday March 01, 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 March 01

  • Current date: 26 Apr
  • Day of the week: Friday
  • New Date: Friday March 01, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Friday
  • March is usually not, but sometimes super tricky. Factor in Leap Years and Easter, which falls on varying dates each year, if you need a date in the past.
  • This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.
  • Your date will be a weekend. Consider if you only want workdays in your calculation.

Ways to calculate 8 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 8 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 29 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 26 Apr on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, 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 8 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()-8 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -8, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 8 calendar weeks

8 weeks is Friday March 01, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 8 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Friday March 01, 2024 date.
