Card Visual - Troubleshoot

My card visual should show total errors from the previous day's accounts but it's returning 'blank':

I've used the following measure for the field value: 

 

Error Count =
VAR CurrentDate = TODAY()
VAR PrevDay = TODAY() - 1
VAR DayOfWeek = WEEKDAY(CurrentDate, 2) -- 2 = Monday, 3 = Tuesday, 4 = Wednesday, 5 = Thursday, 6 = Friday, 7 = Saturday, 1 = Sunday

VAR SelectedDate = IF(DayOfWeek = 1, PrevDay - 1, CurrentDate)

RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        COUNTROWS('DataPool Merge 2024'),
        'DataPool Merge 2024'[Date] = SelectedDate,
        'DataPool Merge 2024'[Status] = "Error"
    )
 
 
This is my table layout:

Do I need to rename fields or tables in the DAX measure?

You can use the following adjusted DAX expression:

Error Count = 
VAR CurrentDate = TODAY()
VAR PrevDay = CurrentDate - 1
VAR DayOfWeek = WEEKDAY(CurrentDate, 2) -- 2 = Monday, 7 = Sunday
VAR SelectedDate = 
    IF(
        DayOfWeek = 1, -- If today is Monday, check for Friday's data
        CurrentDate - 3,
        PrevDay
    )
RETURN 
    CALCULATE(
        COUNTROWS('Table'),
        'Table'[Date] = SelectedDate,
        'Table'[Status] = "Error"
    )
