What was the date 2 weeks ago?


Solution

Sunday May 05, 2024

0

2 weeks ago from today was 05 May 2024, a Sunday. Week conversions under a month are not too complicated. We’re often okay with just counting weeks backwards from Sunday. However, we’re 19 days from the end of May, and being in the middle of of the month, looking back less than a week will keep us in May and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.

How we calculated 2 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 2 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 19 May, then set the calculation - 2 weeks, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 2 weeks in May will keep us in May and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 19 May, factoring in the 19 days left in May to calculate Sunday May 05, 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 05

  • Current date: 19 May
  • Day of the week: Sunday
  • New Date: Sunday May 05, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Sunday
  • Counting backward from May could put you back in Q1 or even the previous year.

Ways to calculate 2 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 2 weeks 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 weeks 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 Sunday, 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 2 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()-2 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -2, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 2 calendar weeks

2 weeks is Sunday May 05, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 2 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Sunday May 05, 2024 date.
