Beast mode to find last working day

RTM

Trying to figure out a beast mode that will filter my data to the last working day. Business works Monday-Friday. Want to be able to set chart to yesterday so that for daily morning chart shows yesterday's data. On a Monday it would pull data from Friday instead of Sunday.

If there is a better way to do this other than a beast mode open to that as well.

@RTM Try this beast mode to include data from 3 days ago if today is Monday or yesterday if today is not Monday. If your users need to look at the data over the weekend, then you will need to add an additional line to subtract 2 days if today is Sunday.

case 
  when DAYNAME(CURRENT_DATE()) = 'Monday' and `Date` = DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(),3) then 'Include'
  when `Date` = DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(),1) then 'Include' 
  else 'Exclude'
end
