What's the date 42 days from today?

Solution

Sunday December 29, 2024

42 days from today is 29 Dec 2024, a Sunday. Calculating over the equivalent days of a month means multiple weeks, multiple weekends and officially crossing into December from the middle of November. 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. Key difference with adding days that span a full month is that shorter calculations might only require counting days and possibly adjusting for a single weekend. Adding 42 days across November requires us to account for multiple weekends, work schedules, and the specific nuances of being in the middle of November jumping to December.

Ways to calculate 42 days from today

Just calculate it: Start with a time from today calculator. 42 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the days in + all number of days in each month and the number of days in 2024. 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 November's calendar: Begin by identifying on a calendar, note that it’s Sunday, and the total days in December (trust me, you’ll need this for smaller calculations) and days until next year (double trust me, you'll need this for larger calculations). From there, count forward 42 times by days, adding days from 17 Nov.
Use Excel: Regardless of unit type, I use day calculations here. Type =TODAY()+42 into the cell. If you want to add weeks, multiply your day by 7 and months/years will take their own calculation due to the changing days of the week. To find 42 days workdays, convert to days but use =WORKDAY(TODAY(), [number of days], [holidays]) into the cell. [number of days] is how many working days you want to add, and [holidays] is an optional range of cells that contain dates of holidays to exclude.

42 days is Sunday December 29, 2024 or could be Tuesday January 14, 2025 if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 42 days and only adds by the number of workdays in a week.
