    Found a solution on Desktop forum:

    Date.AddDays(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-Date.DayOfWeek(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),5))

= Date.StartOfWeek(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow())) - #duration(2,0,0,0)

CNENFRNL  thanks but not what I wanted.

 

This is giving me date of 2 days ago i.e. 24/07/2021 which was Saturday.  Can it be dynamic to calculate from any date what was last Friday date? 


Thanks

    And here is another way.

     

    = List.Max(List.Select(List.Dates(Date.AddDays([Date], -6),7,#duration(1,0,0,0)), each Date.DayOfWeek(_) = 5))
