I don't believe that is what th OP asked.

Yours gives for Tuesday 4/1/2008 -- Thursday 3/27/2008

But 4/1/2008 less three days is Saturday 3/29/2008, so, by his request, you
should only fall bact to Friday, not Thursday.

Date substraction - A1 has 4/2/2008 and I want to subtract three days.
Therefore, the answer is 3/30/2008 (Sunday) then I want to fall back to
Friday 3/28/2008.
