Date between Monday and previous day of week in TSQL

I'm trying to pull all records between Monday and the day before.

For instance, on Thursday, I need the date range of Monday through Wednesday.

I've got a script that uses the following code:

 
SELECT * from dbo.events
WHERE dbo.events.eventdate BETWEEN DATEADD(wk,DATEDIFF(wk,7,getdate()),6) and getdate()

Open in new window


This gives the range a start day of Sunday. How should I modify it to treat Monday as the start of the week?

Thanks in advance.

Avoid WEEK just in case the DATEFIRST setting affects it (I'm not sure).  Below code works accurately with any DATEFIRST and/or language settings.

For now, returns the same day if it's already a Monday, wasn't sure what you needed in that case.

SELECT e.*
FROM dbo.events e
WHERE e.eventdate >= DATEADD(DAY, -DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()) % 7, GETDATE()) AND
    e.eventdate < CAST(GETDATE() AS date)

Set it in a query
SET DATEFIRST 1;
Value First day of the week is 1 Monday 2 Tuesday 3 Wednesday 4 Thursday 5 Friday 6 Saturday 7 (default, U.S. English) Sunday
