What was the date 7 days ago?

Solution

Sunday December 29, 2024

0

7 days ago from today was 29 Dec 2024, a Sunday. Since today is Sunday, the calculation could get a bit more complicated if you want to account for business days becuase it's the weekend. In subtracting an 7-day span, we count back over a week, which means we need to account for workdays for those of us who prioritize them. Moving backward by more than a week from January suggests we might approach , given we’re currently in the early part of of this month.

How we calculated 7 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 7 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 05 Jan, then set the calculation - 7 days, and factored in the year 2025
Noted your current time of year: 7 days in January will bring us back to or further.
Counted backwards days from current day: date - 05 Jan, factoring in the 5 days left in January to calculate Sunday December 29, 2024
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 29

Current date: 05 Jan
Day of the week: Sunday
New Date: Sunday December 29, 2024
New Date Day of the week: Sunday
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.

Ways to calculate 7 days ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 7 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 5 days in January + 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!).
Use January's calendar: Begin by identifying 05 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Sunday, and the total days in (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 7 times days by days, subtracting days from until your remainder of days is 0.
Use excel: For more complex days calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-7 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -7, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 7 calendar days

7 days is Sunday December 29, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 7 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Sunday December 29, 2024 date.
