What was the date 979 months ago?

Solution

Sunday August 15, 1943

0

979 months before today was 15 Aug 1943, a Sunday. Subtracting 979 months in the past is usually just counting from March; however, longer calculations will push us from 2025 into 2024 or further. Even if the calculation remains within the year, I usually take note of the 15 days left in the middle of March to prep for an additional calculation before February. But that’s all there is to it - understand the month, if 979 months will change the year, season, or fiscal calendar, and subtract your dates.

How we calculated 979 months 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 979 months ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 15 Mar, then set the calculation - 979 months, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 979 months in March will bring us back to February or further.
  3. Counted backwards months from current day: date - 15 Mar, factoring in the 15 days left in March to calculate Sunday August 15, 1943
  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 August 15

Ways to calculate 979 months ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 979 months is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 15 days in March + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your months and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
  2. Use March's calendar: Begin by identifying 15 Mar on a calendar, note that it’s Sunday, and the total days in February (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 979 times months by months, subtracting months from until your remainder of months is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex months calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-979 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -979, cell:cell) for working months.

Working months in 979 calendar months

979 months is Sunday August 15, 1943 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 979 months and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Sunday August 15, 1943 date.
