Default Alternative to WORKDAY when Analysis ToolPak not loaded

I have a simple formula in a workbook that indicates the previous
workday from today's date:

=WORKDAY(TODAY(),-1)

So, for example, if today is Monday, the formula above gives last
Friday's date. Or, if today is Wednesdsay, it indicates yesterday's
date (Tuesday). (Holidays are not pertinent here.)

Unfortunately, a few people to whom I distribute this workbook do not
have Analysis ToolPak installed, so that particular cell (and all the
cells that refer to that cell) shows #NAME?

Is there an alternative formula to WORKDAY that I can use that will
indicate the previous workday from today? (Again, Holidays are not
pertinent as we will always be looking for a Monday-Friday date).

Many thanks.
