Solution

Saturday May 11, 2024

1 week ago from today was 11 May 2024, a Saturday. Week conversions under a month are not too complicated. We’re often okay with just counting weeks backwards from Saturday. However, we’re 18 days from the end of May, and being in the middle of of the month, looking back less than a week will keep us in May and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.

How we calculated 1 week 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 1 week ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 18 May, then set the calculation - 1 week, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 1 week in May will keep us in May and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
Counted backwards week from current day: date - 18 May, factoring in the 18 days left in May to calculate Saturday May 11, 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 May 11

Current date: 18 May
Day of the week: Saturday
New Date: Saturday May 11, 2024
New Date Day of the week: Saturday
Counting backward from May could put you back in Q1 or even the previous year.
Your date will be a weekend. Consider if you only want workdays in your calculation.

Ways to calculate 1 week ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 1 week is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 18 days in May + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your week and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
Use May's calendar: Begin by identifying 18 May on a calendar, note that it’s Saturday, and the total days in April (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 1 times week by week, subtracting week from until your remainder of week is 0.
Use excel: For more complex week calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-1 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -1, cell:cell) for working week.

Working week in 1 calendar week

1 week is Saturday May 11, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 1 week and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Saturday May 11, 2024 date.
