Function To Return Last Weekday?

Is there a function to return the last weekday?

Instead of:

relative_time(now(), "-1d@d") 

Is there any notation to say workday or weekday?

That did not seem to work. Instead I used a case to check the day of the week:

| where Date > case(strftime(now(),"%w")="1", relative_time(now(), "-3d@d"), strftime(now(),"%w")!="1", relative_time(now(), "-1d@d"))
