980 weeks ago from today was 17 May 2006, a Wednesday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2025. It looks like 980 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 6860 days on a calendar until getting my solution of Wednesday May 17, 2006.

How we calculated 980 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 980 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 26 Feb, then set the calculation - 980 weeks, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 980 weeks in February will bring us back to January or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 26 Feb, factoring in the 26 days left in February to calculate Wednesday May 17, 2006
  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 May 17

  • Current date: 26 Feb
  • Day of the week: Wednesday
  • New Date: Wednesday May 17, 2006
  • New Date Day of the week: Wednesday
  • Counting backward from May could put you back in Q1 or even the previous year.
  • 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 980 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 980 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 26 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 26 Feb on a calendar, note that it’s Wednesday, 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 980 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()-980 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -980, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 980 calendar weeks

980 weeks is Wednesday May 17, 2006 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 980 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Wednesday May 17, 2006 date.
