0

20 weeks ago from today was 04 Jul 2024, a Thursday. We’re now subtracting quarters of the year. This means 20 weeks from 21 Nov changes fiscal calendars and could even push us into previous years. We’re currently in end of November with 21 days left; this will keep us in November 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 20 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 20 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 21 Nov, then set the calculation - 20 weeks, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 20 weeks in November will keep us in November and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 21 Nov, factoring in the 21 days left in November to calculate Thursday July 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 July 04

  • Current date: 21 Nov
  • Day of the week: Thursday
  • New Date: Thursday July 04, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Thursday
  • July is one of the highest vacation months, so prepare for more OOO messages.
  • This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.

Ways to calculate 20 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 20 weeks 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 weeks and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
  2. Use November's calendar: Begin by identifying 21 Nov on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, 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 20 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()-20 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -20, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 20 calendar weeks

20 weeks is Thursday July 04, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 20 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Thursday July 04, 2024 date.
