Week Starting on Friday and ending on Thursday

Hi all,

 

I want to change my calendar so for some specific weekly calculations my week will start on Friday and end of Thursday.

This is my calendar below.

Which parts will I need to change below?

 

 

VAR __RESULT =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            __BASE,
            "Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
            "Month Long", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
            "Month Short", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm" ),
            "Month Number", MONTH ( [Date] ),
            "Month and Year", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm-yy" ),
            "YYYYMM", FORMAT ( [Date], "MMM" ),
            "Quarter", "Q" & QUARTER ( [Date] ),
            "Day of Week Long", FORMAT ( [Date], "dddd" ),
            "Day of Week Short", FORMAT ( [Date], "ddd" ),
            "Day Sort", WEEKDAY ( [Date], 1 ),
            "Week of Year", WEEKNUM ( [Date] ),
            "Week Ending Saturday",
                VAR __DAY =
                    WEEKDAY ( [Date] ) - 6
                RETURN
                    [Date] - __DAY,
            "Week Ending Thursday",
                VAR __DAY =
                    WEEKDAY ( [Date] ) - 5
