Unable to create Week End Date in Direct Query

Hi Guys,

 

I am trying to create week end date in PQ. Although I am able to do that it forces me to change the query to 'import'

 

Any workaround as I need it in DQ. Cheers!

I'm not sure you can do it in Power Query but it looks like a DAX calculated column still works:

EndOfWeek = DatesTable[Date] + 7 - WEEKDAY ( DatesTable[Date] )

You could either use formatting to get the days of the week (using ddd) and go from there.
