Networking Days in Power Query

Dear Mentors, 

 

Below is my power query table and I won't add a "Networking Days" Column at the end of the table.

Its basically a month-wise table. Would appreciate if anyone can guide me with the solution.

@Sheik-Mishuk - Well, I wrote a Net Work Days for DAX here: Net Work Days - Microsoft Power BI Community

 

The Power Query equivalent should be something like the following. You want the Added Custom step.

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjZU0lEy1jfUNzIwgjCNoexYHaisBULWAiEbCwA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Days in Month" = _t, #"Start of Month" = _t, #"End of Month" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Days in Month", Int64.Type}, {"Start of Month", type date}, {"End of Month", type date}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each List.Count(List.Select(List.Dates([Start of Month],[Days in Month],Duration.FromText("1.00:00:00")), each Date.DayOfWeek(_,Day.Monday) < 5)))
in
    #"Added Custom"
