What was the date 1 day ago?

Solution

Wednesday April 16, 2025

Date Range: 1 day

1 day ago from today is 16 Apr 2025, 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 17 days until the end of April, being in the middle of of the month means that 1 day ago will keep us in April 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:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 17 Apr, then set the calculation - 1 day, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 1 day in April will keep us in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
  3. Counted backwards day from current day: date - 17 Apr, factoring in the 17 days left in April to calculate Wednesday April 16, 2025
  4. Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Ways to calculate 1 day ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 1 day is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 17 days in April + 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!).
  2. Use April's calendar: Begin by identifying 17 Apr on a calendar, note that it’s Wednesday, 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 1 times day by day, subtracting day from until your remainder of day is 0.
  3. 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 April 16, 2025 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 April 16, 2025 date.
