Populate Fridays date on Mondays

Hi all. We enter orders the day after they are sold. I would like to auto populate a field to accurately reflect the date sold. So Tuesday through Friday I need it to populate current date - 1. But the tricky part is that on Mondays I would like it to populate current date - 3 to show that it was sold on Friday. Could someone help me out with a formula to do this?

Thanks

if you have a field called "CreationDate" which is the day the orders are entered, you could do this for the "DateSold" field:

Case ( DayOfWeek(CreationDate)=2; CreationDate-3; CreationDate-1)

I do have a creation date field and this appears to do the trick. Thanks so much for the help :

Then I guess I didn't understand the request because if the date is 5/9 (Sunday), it produces Saturday. I would think you would want Friday.

If you want to skip both weekend days then try:

CreateDate - 1 - Position ( "12" ; DayOfWeek ( CreateDate ) ; 1 ; 1 )
