Solution

Friday May 22, 2020

242 weeks ago from today was 22 May 2020, a Friday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2025. It looks like 242 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 1694 days on a calendar until getting my solution of Friday May 22, 2020.

How we calculated 242 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 242 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 10 Jan, then set the calculation - 242 weeks, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 242 weeks in January will bring us back to or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 10 Jan, factoring in the 10 days left in January to calculate Friday May 22, 2020
  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 22

  • Current date: 10 Jan
  • Day of the week: Friday
  • New Date: Friday May 22, 2020
  • New Date Day of the week: Friday
  • Counting backward from May could put you back in Q1 or even the previous year.
  • 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 242 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 242 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 10 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 10 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, 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 242 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()-242 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -242, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 242 calendar weeks

242 weeks is Friday May 22, 2020 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 242 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 May 22, 2020 date.
