Creating a measure for Working Days with "Holiday Dates"

I have a Calendar that I've created in DAX and I want to create a column that shows "Is A Working Day"

0=Not a working day
1=Is A Working Day

I want to create a variable calculation where I can include a "Conditional If statement" including Dates in the measure to return "0" for those dates that are holidays.
Example:

5/30/2022 = 0

7/4/2022 = 0

This is how my calendar is laid out

And this is my measure for "IsWorkingDay"

I feel that I can turn this measure into variables where I can have both "IsWorkingDay" measure and the "IF statement" to create my column.

I'm still very new to creating DAX measure but I'm slowly picking it up.
The help would be greatly appreciated

Try this measure:

isworkingday = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[dayname])="Sat"||SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[dayname])="Sun",0,1)
