One way:

C12: =C9-1-2*(WEEKDAY(C9)=1)

I need help with a formula/macro. I have a formula that selects cell c9
and
subtracts it by 1 day. If that day is a Sunday, I want the formula to
subtract by 3 days. However, my current formula doesn't subtract by 3.
Please help

C9 : May 21, 2007

C12 =IF(C9-1= "Sunday",C9-3,C9-1)
