@slyfox change your total working days measure like this
Total Working Days =
CALCULATE(
MAX( Table2[WorkingDayCount] ),
FILTER(
ALL( Table2),
Table2[LINK_Date ] <= MAX( Table2[LINK_Date ] ) &&
NOT ISBLANK( Table2[WorkingDayCount] )
)
)

Hello @parry2k
An issue with blank values at WorkingDayCount column. I need to have adjusted Column Working Days Count in a way to fill empty rows with a previous day.
For example, Saturday and Sunday have to be with Friday's value.
WorkingDayCount =
Var __CurrentDate = D_Date[DATE_Date]
Var __CurrentMonth = D_Date[DATE_MonthName]
Var __CurrentYear = YEAR( D_Date[DATE_Date] )
Var __CurrentDay = D_Date[DATE_WeekdayName]
Var __List = {"Saturday" , "Sunday" }
Var __ListHolidays = {
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,6),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),4,21),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),4,22),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),5,1),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),5,3),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),6,9),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),6,20),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),8,15),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),11,1),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),11,11),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),12,25),
DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),12,26)
}
RETURN
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS( D_Date ),
Filter(
ALL( D_Date),
__CurrentDate >= D_Date[DATE_Date]
&& NOT D_Date[DATE_WeekdayName] IN __List
&& NOT __CurrentDay IN __List
&& NOT __CurrentDate IN __ListHolidays
&& __CurrentMonth = D_Date[DATE_MonthName]
&& __CurrentYear = Year( D_Date[DATE_Date])
)
@slyfox did you checked the solution I provided. It is exactly doing the same you asked for, if there is no working day count, it is giving previous day working day count, in case of sat/sun, it will give working days of Friday.

@slyfox that was to add measure not column, anyhow here is revised DAX
for column use this
Total Working Days as Col =
VAR __Date =
CALCULATE(
MAX( D_Date[LINK_Date] ),
D_Date[LINK_Date] <= EARLIER( D_Date[LINK_Date] ) ,
NOT ISBLANK( D_Date[WorkingDayCount] )
)
RETURN
CALCULATE( SELECTEDVALUE( D_Date[WorkingDayCount] ), D_Date[LINK_Date] = __Date )
for measure us this
Total Working Days as Measure =
VAR __Date =
CALCULATE(
MAX( D_Date[LINK_Date] ),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED( D_Date ),
D_Date[LINK_Date] <= MAX( D_Date[LINK_Date] ) &&
NOT ISBLANK( D_Date[WorkingDayCount] )
)
)
RETURN
CALCULATE( SELECTEDVALUE( D_Date[WorkingDayCount] ), D_Date[LINK_Date] = __Date )

Hello @parry2k
Column formula returns the wrong value for the first dates of the month, could be possible to adjust it?
