after reading the tables more carefully,try this function

 

 

 

let
  subWD = (d, nd) => 
    let
      pwe = Date.AddDays(Date.EndOfWeek(d, Day.Monday), - 7),
      chk = Duration.Days(d - pwe),
      nwein = (Number.IntegerDivide(nd - chk, 5) + Number.From(Number.Mod(nd - chk, 5) > 0))
    in
      Date.AddDays(d, - nd - nwein * 2 + 1)
in
  subWD

 

 

 

 

 

ps

this is a math-like solution: tangled but synthetic formulas.
A simpler and clearer but more verbose IT solution is possible by using  functions such as List.Dates, date.endofweek,
list. difference and few others.

@vijaykumarj19 - 

Maybe:

 

 

C4 =
  VAR __Table = FILTER(ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR([C2] - [C3]*1.5,[C2]),"Weekday",IF(WEEKDAY([Date],2)<6,1,0)),[Weekday]=1)
  VAR __Table1 = ADDCOLUMNS(__Table,"Count",COUNTROWS(FILTER(__Table,[Date]>=EARLIER([Date]))))
RETURN
  MAXX(FILTER(__Table1,[Count] = [C3]),[Date])

 

PBIX is attached below sig. Table (15).

There is no table 15 in the .PBIX file you shared

and can we create same column in query editor
