Default subtract one weekday

In one worksheet I've got weekdays (SUN-SAT). What I would like to do is link
those cells to another worksheet in the same workbook, but have them be minus
one day. For example: worksheet1 would have WED, but the linked cell in
worksheet2 would be TUE. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in advance

What type of data are SUN-SAT? Are they real Excel dates custom formatted
like "ddd" or strings (texts)?

Try this

=LOOKUP(Sheet3!A2,{"FRI","MON","SAT","SUN","THU"," TUE","WED"},{"THU","SUN","FRI","SAT","WED","MON"," TUE"})

I'm not sure what data type they would be. In the first cell I entered one
day (Mon) and auto-filled the rest of the row for a full month. Would this
be a string?

Yes, they are strings, I'd have thought it, because real custom formatted
Excel dates aren't fully in capitals (SUN-SAT) but Sun-Sat.
