    Hi baronraghu_3011 

    Will you be considering bank holidays as well or only excluding Saurdays and Sundays? If the former, you need a list of the holidays

    baronraghu_3011  you can create a calculated column or a measure to deduct 60 days from your date column as below.

    baronraghu_3011 what i understand you want to go back 60 days from today excluding weekends. if this is what you want then you can create a below calc column in your main date table

     

     
     Workdays = IF(OR(WEEKDAY('Calendar'[Date])=1, WEEKDAY('Calendar'[Date])=7),0,1)
     Rank1 = RANKX(FILTER(FILTER('Calendar','Calendar'[Date]<TODAY()),'Calendar'[Workdays]=1),'Calendar'[Date])

    you can now apply filters in your table.

     

    you can refer to below link as well
