- Comment/Request
- I was taken to surprise when I noted that for most of the dates, we get incorrect days as answer when I used this page for calculating the days. As example to quote, 15th March, 44 BC (When Ceasar was murdered) the calculation returns as Wednesday which by actual calculation turns to be Friday. Further for every 400 years the Gregorian calendar repeats itself with same days altogether. In that aspect, we would expect same day for both 15th March, 44 BC as well as 15th March 357 AD which according to this calculation turns to be on Saturday which actually should be on Friday. I request you to kindly check these errors and make necessary changes to get right answers. I have been carrying research work in calendars right from my young age and I have more than 20 books in view of popularizing mathematics in India. Hope you find these information useful and take this comment in right spirit because we should not spread false information in social media. Thanks.

- Comment/Request
- For the previous commenter from September, 2019:
539 BC is calculated as -538, since the AD/BC numbering system has no year 0 between 1 BC and 1 AD.
Examples: year 0 = 1 BCE, -100 is 101 BCE, -538 is 539 BCE.

- General interest and curiosity
- Bug report
- In Microsoft, this formula:
=TEXT("1/1/1900","dddd")
gives Sunday
but this web site gives Monday.
One or other is wrong, unless it's me. - from Keisan
- There are bugs in Excel concerning dates.
The correct answer is 'Monday'.
