Saturday November 23, 2019

261 weeks ago from today was 23 Nov 2019, a Saturday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2024. It looks like 261 weeks from now will bring us back to pre 2023 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 1827 days on a calendar until getting my solution of Saturday November 23, 2019.

How we calculated 261 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 261 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 23 Nov, then set the calculation - 261 weeks, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 261 weeks in November will bring us back to October or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 23 Nov, factoring in the 23 days left in November to calculate Saturday November 23, 2019
  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 November 23

  • Current date: 23 Nov

  • New Date Day of the week: Saturday
  • In Novemeber, account for the end of the year holidays when counting backwards.

Ways to calculate 261 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 261 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 23 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 23 Nov on a calendar, note that it’s Saturday, 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 261 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()-261 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -261, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 261 calendar weeks

261 weeks is Saturday November 23, 2019 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 261 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Saturday November 23, 2019 date.
