Solution

Thursday December 19, 2024

14 days ago from today was 19 Dec 2024, a Thursday. When calculating a period over two weeks in the past, it's important to account for the day of the week. Since today is Thursday, we'll have to adjust for the weekend, if you care about the number of work days. This takes our subtraction across multiple weeks, and with 2 days until the end of January counting backwards from today in the early part of of the month means that subtracting 14 days ago will bring us back to or further.

How we calculated 14 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 14 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 02 Jan, then set the calculation - 14 days, and factored in the year 2025
Noted your current time of year: 14 days in January will bring us back to or further.
Counted backwards days from current day: date - 02 Jan, factoring in the 2 days left in January to calculate Thursday December 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 December 19

Current date: 02 Jan
Day of the week: Thursday
New Date: Thursday December 19, 2024
New Date Day of the week: Thursday
December marks the end of the year, so account for all the out of office notifications 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 14 days ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 14 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 2 days in January + 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!).
Use January's calendar: Begin by identifying 02 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, 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 14 times days by days, subtracting days from until your remainder of days is 0.
Use excel: For more complex days calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-14 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -14, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 14 calendar days

14 days is Thursday December 19, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 14 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 December 19, 2024 date.
