    Anonymous  Please try this as a New Column. Let me know how it goes and if it fails for any of your scenario. It will be always helpful if you can post some sample test data along with the expected output.

     

    DueDate = 
VAR _P1 = Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + TIME(2,0,0)
VAR _P2 = Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + TIME(8,0,0)
VAR _P3 = Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + 7
VAR _PreFinal1 = SWITCH(Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[Priority],1,_P1,2,_P2)
VAR _PreFinal2 = SWITCH(WEEKDAY(_PreFinal1,2),6,_PreFinal1+2,7,_PreFinal1+1)
VAR _Final = IF(ISBLANK(_PreFinal2),_PreFinal1,_PreFinal2)
RETURN IF(Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[Priority] IN {1,2},_Final,_P3)

PattemManohar Once again thank you much for helping me out. If I change VAR_P2 to Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + 10 to skip 10 days excluding weekends. The weekends are not getting excluded. Please help..
