In the code for the step you added for end of week, just add Day.Saturday like this

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Quarter", "End of Week", each Date.EndOfWeek([Date], Day.Friday), type date)

Hi, @vjnvinod , it's even easier in Power Query; a prêt-à-manger functionality is available on UI.

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
