How to Calculate How Long Ago a Date Was

To calculate how long ago a date was, you can use the following steps:

Convert the date to a number. For example, June 12th, 2024 can be converted to “20240612”.
Convert the current date to a number. For example, today’s date (March 8th, 2023) can be converted to “20230308”.
Subtract the first number from the second number. This will give you the number of days between the two dates. In this case, 20230308 – 20240612 = -452.
If the result is a negative number, then the date you are calculating is in the future. If the result is a positive number, then the date you are calculating is in the past.
To convert the number of days to years, months, and days, you can use the following formula:

years = days / 365.25
months = (days % 365.25) / 30.44
days = (days % 365.25) % 30.44

When calculating how long ago a date was, it is important to avoid the following common mistakes:

Using the wrong date format. Make sure that you are using the same date format for both dates. For example, if you are using the “MM/DD/YYYY” format for one date, then you must also use the “MM/DD/YYYY” format for the other date.
Not converting the dates to numbers. Before you can subtract the dates, you must first convert them to numbers.
Not taking into account leap years. Leap years have 366 days instead of 365 days. This can affect the number of days between two dates.
