What was the date 73 weeks ago?

Solution

Thursday August 10, 2023

73 weeks ago from today was 10 Aug 2023, a Thursday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2025. It looks like 73 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 511 days on a calendar until getting my solution of Thursday August 10, 2023.

How we calculated 73 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 73 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 02 Jan, then set the calculation - 73 weeks, and factored in the year 2025
Noted your current time of year: 73 weeks in January will bring us back to or further.
Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 02 Jan, factoring in the 2 days left in January to calculate Thursday August 10, 2023
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for August 10

Current date: 02 Jan
Day of the week: Thursday
New Date: Thursday August 10, 2023
New Date Day of the week: Thursday
August is the beginning of Q3. Dates in previous months will be part of 1H fiscal years.
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 73 weeks ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 73 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 2 days in January + 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!).
Use January's calendar: Begin by identifying 02 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, 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 73 times weeks by weeks, subtracting weeks from until your remainder of weeks is 0.
Use excel: For more complex weeks calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-73 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -73, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 73 calendar weeks

73 weeks is Thursday August 10, 2023 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 73 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 August 10, 2023 date.
