My query essentially goes thru every event and picks a field with response_time. And then calculates the average value of it.
I need to do this search for last 30 days excluding weekends(saturday,sunday). But in the presets I don't see any option to exclude weekend. Need help for that.

You would need to create something like a checkbox on your form that says something like "Exclude Weekends" or "Week Days Only"
When that checkbox is selected, have it add the "date_wday!=saturday AND date_wday!=sunday" to your base search.

@solarboyz1, Thanks for the reply.
Created input option like this. Working as expected but what I noticed is Tick mark is not changing when I select the other option; showing both buttons as Checked. Any suggestions ?
<input type="checkbox" token="weekends" id="weekends">
<label>Weekend Option</label>
<choice value="| where NOT (date_wday="saturday" OR date_wday="sunday")">Exclude Weekend</choice>
<choice value="">Include Weekend</choice>
<delimiter> </delimiter>
</input>

Tick mark is not changing when I select the other option
I'm going to infer that you are using the timechart to visualize the data, and the timechart still has weekends on the x axis.
I believe You will need to switch from timechart to using chart over _time
Which should give you a chart without any weekends.
