What was the date 1 day ago?

Solution

Wednesday November 20, 2024

0

1 day ago from today is 20 Nov 2024, a Wednesday. Calculating a short time span like 1 days in the past is typically straightforward. For periods under a week, it's a matter of simple backward counting, often doable with just the days of the week. Since today is Thursday, we'll have to adjust for the weekend, if you care about the number of work days. – I generally backtrack using the days of the week for quick reference. Additionally, we’ll need to consider that with 21 days until the end of November, being in the end of of the month means that 1 day ago will keep us in November and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.

How we calculated 1 day 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 1 day ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 21 Nov, then set the calculation - 1 day, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 1 day in November will keep us in November and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
Counted backwards day from current day: date - 21 Nov, factoring in the 21 days left in November to calculate Wednesday November 20, 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 20

Current date: 21 Nov
Day of the week: Wednesday
New Date: Wednesday November 20, 2024
New Date Day of the week: Wednesday
In Novemeber, account for the end of the year holidays when counting backwards.

Ways to calculate 1 day ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 1 day is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 21 days in November + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your day and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
Use November's calendar: Begin by identifying 21 Nov on a calendar, note that it’s Wednesday, and the total days in October (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 1 times day by day, subtracting day from until your remainder of day is 0.
Use excel: For more complex day calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-1 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -1, cell:cell) for working day.

Working day in 1 calendar day

1 day is Wednesday November 20, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 1 day and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Wednesday November 20, 2024 date.
