Solution

Thursday December 26, 2024

if 242 days from today is 26 Dec 2024, a Thursday. Adding 242 days, or anything around or above six months ahead from today, brings a layer of annual planning to the calculation. Since today is Sunday, the calculation could get a bit more complicated if you want to account for business days becuase it's the weekend. We’re in the end of of April so we’ll first need to consider the 4 days left in the month. This will help us understand how many weekends, work days, holidays, or days beyond April or May we’ll need to account for before getting to our new date, 26 Dec 2024.

Ways to calculate 242 days from today

Just calculate it: Start with a time from today calculator. 242 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the days in + all number of days in each month and the number of days in 2024. 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 April's calendar: Begin by identifying on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, and the total days in May (trust me, you’ll need this for smaller calculations) and days until next year (double trust me, you'll need this for larger calculations). From there, count forward 242 times by days, adding days from 28 Apr.
Use Excel: Regardless of unit type, I use day calculations here. Type =TODAY()+242 into the cell. If you want to add weeks, multiply your day by 7 and months/years will take their own calculation due to the changing days of the week. To find 242 days workdays, convert to days but use =WORKDAY(TODAY(), [number of days], [holidays]) into the cell. [number of days] is how many working days you want to add, and [holidays] is an optional range of cells that contain dates of holidays to exclude.
