What was the date 85 days ago?

Solution

Thursday February 01, 2024

85 days ago from today was 01 Feb 2024, a Thursday. Calculating time spanning over the equivalent of a month means we must count back through multiple weeks and weekends, typically crossing back before April from the early part of of April. Since today is Friday, well need to account for the weekend if you care about work days. If not, the calculation will remain the same.. The key difference with subtracting days over a full month, compared to shorter spans, is the need to consider several weekends, varying work schedules, and the nuances of transitioning from the early part of of April into March.

How we calculated 85 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 85 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 26 Apr, then set the calculation - 85 days, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 85 days in April will bring us back to March or further.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 26 Apr, factoring in the 29 days left in April to calculate Thursday February 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 February 01

  • Current date: 26 Apr
  • Day of the week: Thursday
  • New Date: Thursday February 01, 2024
  • 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.

Ways to calculate 85 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 85 days 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 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 26 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 85 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()-85 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -85, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 85 calendar days

85 days is Thursday February 01, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 85 days 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 01, 2024 date.
