168 weeks ago from today was 20 Oct 2021, a Wednesday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2025. It looks like 168 weeks from now will bring us back to pre 2024 and we’ll need to factor this into our subtraction because it will change the calendar and fiscal years. For larger calculations like this, I start by subtracting total days, then counting backwards 1176 days on a calendar until getting my solution of Wednesday October 20, 2021.

How we calculated 168 weeks 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 168 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 08 Jan, then set the calculation - 168 weeks, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 168 weeks in January will bring us back to or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 08 Jan, factoring in the 8 days left in January to calculate Wednesday October 20, 2021
  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 October 20

  • Current date: 08 Jan
  • Day of the week: Wednesday
  • New Date: Wednesday October 20, 2021
  • New Date Day of the week: Wednesday
  • October marks the start of Q4 so counting backward will put you back into the 3 fiscal quarter.
  • 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 168 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 168 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 8 days in January + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your weeks and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
  2. Use January's calendar: Begin by identifying 08 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Wednesday, 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 168 times weeks by weeks, subtracting weeks from until your remainder of weeks is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex weeks calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-168 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -168, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 168 calendar weeks

168 weeks is Wednesday October 20, 2021 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 168 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Wednesday October 20, 2021 date.
