What was the date 15 days ago?

Solution

Wednesday November 06, 2024

15 days ago from today was 06 Nov 2024, a Wednesday. 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 21 days until the end of November counting backwards from today in the end of of the month means that subtracting 15 days ago will keep us in November and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.

How we calculated 15 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 15 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 21 Nov, then set the calculation - 15 days, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 15 days in November will keep us in November and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
Counted backwards days from current day: date - 21 Nov, factoring in the 21 days left in November to calculate Wednesday November 06, 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 06

Current date: 21 Nov
Day of the week: Wednesday
New Date: Wednesday November 06, 2024
New Date Day of the week: Wednesday
In Novemeber, account for the end of the year holidays when counting backwards.

Ways to calculate 15 days ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 15 days 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 days 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 15 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()-15 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -15, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 15 calendar days

15 days is Wednesday November 06, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 15 days 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 06, 2024 date.
