Date Shift from Today

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I was wondering if someone can help me write a command that would take today's date subtract 1 business day from it and have it display as a new column with Yes or No value? 

I'm not sure if there is a way to differentiate between weekends and weekdays? For example, on Monday it would subtract 2 days to account for the weekend but on Tuesday through Friday it would subtract only 1 

I've already set up a calendar reference I just need to figure out how to write the command 

Thank you!

@Anonymous  in case you are looking for previous business date. Please create a calculated column

PrevBusinessDay = SWITCH(TRUE()
                                ,WEEKDAY('Calendar'[Date],2)=1,DATEADD('Calendar'[Date],-3,DAY)
                                ,NOT(WEEKDAY('Calendar'[Date],2)) IN {6,7}, DATEADD('Calendar'[Date],-1,DAY),BLANK())
