    Wecks,

     

    You may check the DAX below.

    Column =
VAR d = USERS[HDATE]
RETURN
    MINX (
        FILTER (
            USERS,
            DATEDIFF ( d, USERS[HDATE], DAY ) >= 2
                && NOT ( WEEKDAY ( USERS[HDATE] ) IN { 1, 7 } )
        ),
        USERS[HDATE]
    )

I believe that something like this will work with everything unless your original date is on a weekend. Could add a check for that if necessary and adjust.

 

Column = 
VAR __days = 2
VAR __futureDays = __days + 2
VAR __table = FILTER(ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR([Date],[Date]+__futureDays),"__weekday",WEEKDAY([Date],2)),[__weekday]<6)
RETURN
IF(COUNTX(__table,[Date])>__days+1,[Date]+2,MAXX(__table,[Date]))

Thanks Greg,

 

I am not as proficient in Power BI as your good self,  i was wondering if you are able to highlight the areas i need to change to fit. 

 

My collumns are HDATE and the Table is called USERS.

 

Also the date from will always be in the week so that should not be a problem.

    Also i forgot to mention HDATE may contain some blanks so this may need to be taken into consideration.
