What was the date 45 days ago?


Solution

Friday December 20, 2024

Date Range: 45 days

45 days ago from today was 20 Dec 2024, a Friday. As we approach calculations over month in the past, the 28 days in February play significant roles, alongside the day of the week. Since today is Monday, we'll need to account for a full week before hitting weekend days. Counting backwards from today skips several weekends, meaning that subtracting 45 days takes us from the early part of of February to potentially crossing far beyond February or January. For those of us focusing on workdays, subtracting 45 days ago necessitates adjustments for the fiscal calendar (don’t worry, I've accounted for it below).

How we calculated 45 days 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 45 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 03 Feb, then set the calculation - 45 days, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 45 days in February will bring us back to January or further.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 03 Feb, factoring in the 3 days left in February to calculate Friday December 20, 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 December 20

  • Current date: 03 Feb
  • Day of the week: Friday
  • New Date: Friday December 20, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Friday
  • December marks the end of the year, so account for all the out of office notifications when counting backwards.
  • 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 45 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 45 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 3 days in February + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your days and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
  2. Use February's calendar: Begin by identifying 03 Feb on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, and the total days in January (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 45 times days by days, subtracting days from until your remainder of days is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex days calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-45 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -45, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 45 calendar days

45 days is Friday December 20, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 45 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Friday December 20, 2024 date.
