What was the date 40 weeks ago?


Solution

Saturday June 22, 2024

Date Range: 40 weeks

40 weeks ago from today was 22 Jun 2024, a Saturday. We’re now subtracting quarters of the year. This means 40 weeks from 29 Mar changes fiscal calendars and could even push us into previous years. We’re currently in end of March with 29 days left; this will bring us back to February or further. 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 40 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 40 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 29 Mar, then set the calculation - 40 weeks, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 40 weeks in March will bring us back to February or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 29 Mar, factoring in the 29 days left in March to calculate Saturday June 22, 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 June 22

  • Current date: 29 Mar
  • Day of the week: Saturday
  • New Date: Saturday June 22, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Saturday
  • June is the beginning of summer so be careful, counting backwards could put you in the chilly months of spring and winter.
  • 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 40 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 40 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 29 days in March + 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 March's calendar: Begin by identifying 29 Mar on a calendar, note that it’s Saturday, and the total days in February (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 40 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()-40 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -40, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 40 calendar weeks

40 weeks is Saturday June 22, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 40 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 June 22, 2024 date.
