Create a Calculated Column to Sum Weekend Values

I have a date table that has calculated column counting all requests submitted on a given day.

There are two KPIs that need to be tracked.  The first KPI is that each weekday has a capacity for 10 new requests.

This I can track quite easily.

 

The other KPI is that wekends have a capacity of 5 new requests in total over the weekend.

How can I create a column that sums the number of requests made on a Saturday and Sunday of each week?

 

My table currently looks like this:

I want a column that sums 20/08 & 21/08 and places the value in 21/08 so that I can display it as a time series visual

e.g.

Date        Weekend Requests

21/08/22             8

28/08/22             6

I think I have the answer.  I used a variable to get teh value of the previous row...

Weekend Requests =
var PrevDay = CALCULATE(
    SUM('Calendar'[Date on D2A]),
    DATEADD('Calendar'[Date],-1,DAY)
)
return
IF('Calendar'[DayOfWeekNumber] = 7,
'Calendar'[Date on D2A] + PrevDay
)

Thanks for the reply.  This goes part way.  The total is placed in Day 7 but the final sum places the total for the whole column in the cell and not just the total of the 2 days of that week's day 6&7.

Hi @HMJSomerset,

 

You can use:

 

Weekend Requests = IF(DayOfWeekNumber=7, IF(DayOfWeekNumber=6 || DayOfWeekNumber=7, SUM('Table'[Requests])))
