How do I calculate working days inside of the query of a table with M?

I want to calculate the number of working days between the dates in two columns using M language. Nothing crazy. But I want to do it on one table, not use a date table and then create a calculated column in DAX.

 

I understand how to check if a date is a working day, but not how to create a calculation in M for subtracting it:

if(WEEKDAY('Date'[Date],2)<6,"TRUE","FALSE")
