Default Date slicer latest date - skip weekends

[SwissCake]

Hi all

I would like to create a default date slicer "latest" which updates every time new data is loaded to the latest date. Note this is an End of Day Report, meaning the latest date is always TODAY()-1, except on Monday it should be Friday

My code: 

Selected Date = SWITCH(TRUE(),[Date] = TODAY()-1,"Latest", FORMAT([Date], "dd/mm/yyyy"))

Problem: works well, except on Monday it does not update because no data is loaded on the weekends for my report (as no data exists on non business days)and hence no "latest" date exists with the above formula.

I was wondering if it were possible to modify this expresission that on Monday, last Friday is considered the latest date.

I have a holistic date table which includes day name, dummy for weekdays and weekends etc...

Many thanks in advance for your help!

thank you very much for posting the video - that goes a bit beyond what i require. 

I think I modified my code and it works now -  In addition to this code I filtered my calender table to exclude weekends.

modified code

Selected Date = SWITCH(TRUE(),[Date] = MAX(Calender[Date]),"Latest", FORMAT([Date], "dd/mm/yyyy"))
