What was the date 17 weeks ago?

Solution

Friday December 20, 2024

Date Range: 17 weeks

17 weeks ago from today was 20 Dec 2024, a Friday. We’re now subtracting quarters of the year. This means 17 weeks from 18 Apr changes fiscal calendars and could even push us into previous years. We’re currently in middle of April with 18 days left; this will keep us in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years. When I calculate backwards for larger weeks before today, I like to start by subtracting the days, then count backwards to find the correct weeks.

How we calculated 17 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 17 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 18 Apr, then set the calculation - 17 weeks, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 17 weeks in April will keep us in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 18 Apr, factoring in the 18 days left in April to calculate Friday December 20, 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 December 20

  • Current date: 18 Apr
  • Day of the week: Friday
  • New Date: Friday December 20, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Friday
  • 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.
  • Your date will be a weekend. Consider if you only want workdays in your calculation.

Ways to calculate 17 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 17 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 18 days in April + 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 April's calendar: Begin by identifying 18 Apr on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, 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 17 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()-17 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -17, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 17 calendar weeks

17 weeks is Friday December 20, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 17 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Friday December 20, 2024 date.
