Solution

Saturday May 04, 2024

0

15 days ago from today was 04 May 2024, a Saturday. When calculating a period over two weeks in the past, it's important to account for the day of the week. 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. This takes our subtraction across multiple weeks, and with 19 days until the end of May counting backwards from today in the middle of of the month means that subtracting 15 days ago will keep us in May 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:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 19 May, then set the calculation - 15 days, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 15 days in May will keep us in May and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 19 May, factoring in the 19 days left in May to calculate Saturday May 04, 2024
  4. Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for May 04

  • Current date: 19 May
  • Day of the week: Saturday
  • New Date: Saturday May 04, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Saturday
  • Counting backward from May could put you back in Q1 or even the previous year.
  • Your date will be a weekend. Consider if you only want workdays in your calculation.

Ways to calculate 15 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 15 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 19 days in May + 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!).
  2. Use May's calendar: Begin by identifying 19 May on a calendar, note that it’s Saturday, and the total days in April (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.
  3. 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 Saturday May 04, 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 Saturday May 04, 2024 date.
