Hi,
How can I get last Friday date in a Custom Column of Power Query please?
Today is 28/07/2021 so last Friday date was 23/07/2021.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Found a solution on Desktop forum:
Date.AddDays(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-Date.DayOfWeek(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),5))
Found a solution on Desktop forum:
Date.AddDays(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-Date.DayOfWeek(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),5))
Here is one way to do it in a custom column.
= if Date.DayOfWeek([Date]) >= 5 then Date.AddDays(Date.StartOfWeek([Date]), 5) else Date.AddDays(Date.StartOfWeek([Date]), -2)

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
@CNENFRNL thanks but not what I wanted.
This is giving me date of 2 days ago i.e. 24/07/2021 which was Saturday. Can it be dynamic to calculate from any date what was last Friday date?
Thanks
And here is another way.
= List.Max(List.Select(List.Dates(Date.AddDays([Date], -6),7,#duration(1,0,0,0)), each Date.DayOfWeek(_) = 5))
