How to update a formula to automatically populate for the prior Monday to a cell date

Hi! I have the following formula from the discussion board (shoutout to Craig) for automatically populating the Monday prior to a certain date:

=IF(ISDATE(Date@row), IF(WEEKDAY(Date@row) = 1, Date@row - 6, Date@row - WEEKDAY(Date@row) + 2))

What do I need to change on this to have it calculate the FRIDAY prior?

I'm sure it's in the numbers, I just don't quite get it :)

Thank you!

My bad. Try this one:

=IF(ISDATE(Date@row), IF(WEEKDAY(Date@row) < 6, Date@row - (WEEKDAY(Date@row) + 1), Date@row - WEEKDAY(Date@row) + 6))

Thank you Joanna! I am still having trouble with that once it gets to Monday, it goes to the following Friday, not the Friday prior. Attached my info for reference in case I messed up somewhere :)
