What was the date 52 days ago?


Solution

Monday September 30, 2024

0

52 days ago from today was 30 Sep 2024, a Monday. As we approach calculations over month in the past, the 30 days in November play significant roles, alongside the day of the week. Since today is Thursday, we'll have to adjust for the weekend, if you care about the number of work days. Counting backwards from today skips several weekends, meaning that subtracting 52 days takes us from the end of of November to potentially crossing far beyond November or October. For those of us focusing on workdays, subtracting 52 days ago necessitates adjustments for the fiscal calendar (don’t worry, I've accounted for it below).

How we calculated 52 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 52 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 21 Nov, then set the calculation - 52 days, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 52 days in November will bring us back to October or further.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 21 Nov, factoring in the 21 days left in November to calculate Monday September 30, 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 September 30

  • Current date: 21 Nov
  • Day of the week: Monday
  • New Date: Monday September 30, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Monday
  • Counting backward from September puts you back into the summer! September is the official start of fall.
  • This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.

Ways to calculate 52 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 52 days 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 days 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 Monday, 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 52 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()-52 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -52, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 52 calendar days

52 days is Monday September 30, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 52 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Monday September 30, 2024 date.
