Hi There!

   I'm having the case, If present day is "Monday" and if user selects the option "Exclude weekend", the time range picker should looks for the data on friday
If user selects the option "Include weekend", the time range picker should be yesterday

<input type="radio" token="weekends" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>Weekends</label>
<choice value="exclude">Exclude Weekends</choice>
<choice value="include">Include Weekends</choice>
<default>exclude</default>
<initialValue>exclude</initialValue>
</input>


thanks!

If you are just looking to define 'yesterday' as either Sunday or Friday on a Monday then this example shows you how to make a search time range that will be either the previous day, or if Monday and exclude weekends, is is Friday

<form version="1.1" theme="light">
  <label>ExcludeWeekends</label>
  <fieldset>
    <input type="radio" token="weekends" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Weekends</label>
      <choice value="exclude">Exclude Weekends</choice>
      <choice value="include">Include Weekends</choice>
      <default>exclude</default>
      <initialValue>exclude</initialValue>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <search>
    <done>
      <set token="search_start">$result.search_start$</set>
      <set token="search_end">$result.search_end$</set>
    </done>
    <query>| makeresults
| fields - _time
| eval now=now()
| eval prev_day=if(strftime(now, "%a")="Mon" AND "$weekends$"="exclude", -3, -1)
| eval search_start=relative_time(now, prev_day."d@d")
| eval search_end=search_start + 86400</query>
  </search>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=_audit
| bin _time span=1d
| stats count by _time</query>
          <earliest>$search_start$</earliest>
          <latest>$search_end$</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>
