0

8 weeks ago from today was 19 Nov 2024, a Tuesday. Week conversions that span across multiple months now must consider the 14 days left in middle of January because 8 weeks will keep us in January and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years. Run this calculation first by understanding where we’re at in January, identify if we’ll drop into , 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:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 14 Jan, then set the calculation - 8 weeks, and factored in the year 2025
Noted your current time of year: 8 weeks in January will keep us in January and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 14 Jan, factoring in the 14 days left in January to calculate Tuesday November 19, 2024
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for November 19

Current date: 14 Jan
Day of the week: Tuesday
New Date: Tuesday November 19, 2024
New Date Day of the week: Tuesday
In Novemeber, account for the end of the year holidays when counting backwards.
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 8 weeks ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 8 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 14 days in January + 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!).
Use January's calendar: Begin by identifying 14 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Tuesday, and the total days in (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.
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 Tuesday November 19, 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 Tuesday November 19, 2024 date.
