Add First Day of Week to Date Table

Hello all!

For months, I have been using this awesome DAX generated date table created by Macro Russo [ marcorusso ] and the team over at SQL BI. The only thing I think it lacks is a [Calendar StartOfWeek] column. Can anyone advise me how I would add a [Calendar StartOfWeek] column to this date table?

For example, the date 10/30/2019 needs to have a [Calendar StartOfWeek] value of 10/27/2019.

You can find the Date Table template here: https://www.sqlbi.com/tools/dax-date-template/

Please try creating calculated column as per below code

Column = CALCULATE(MIN('Date'[Date]),ALLEXCEPT('Date','Date'[Calendar Week Year]))
