What was the date 69 weeks ago?


Solution

Thursday October 19, 2023

Date Range: 69 weeks

69 weeks ago from today was 19 Oct 2023, a Thursday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2025. It looks like 69 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 483 days on a calendar until getting my solution of Thursday October 19, 2023.

How we calculated 69 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 69 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 13 Feb, then set the calculation - 69 weeks, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 69 weeks in February will bring us back to January or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 13 Feb, factoring in the 13 days left in February to calculate Thursday October 19, 2023
  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 October 19

  • Current date: 13 Feb
  • Day of the week: Thursday
  • New Date: Thursday October 19, 2023
  • New Date Day of the week: Thursday
  • October marks the start of Q4 so counting backward will put you back into the 3 fiscal quarter.
  • This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.
  • The solution crosses into a different year.

Ways to calculate 69 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 69 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 13 days in February + 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 February's calendar: Begin by identifying 13 Feb on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, 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 69 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()-69 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -69, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 69 calendar weeks

69 weeks is Thursday October 19, 2023 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 69 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Thursday October 19, 2023 date.
