You have littered your post with tags:

I would recommend that you clean it up, so that we know which platform you are using. The solutions for Databricks, MySQL and SQL Server are all likely to be different. And if you are on SQL Server, please tell us which version, since SQL 2022 offers a neat way to do this.

Take a look at this link https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/4054/creating-a-date-dimension-or-calendar-table-in-sql-server/

If you just want to modify your code, you can add

BEGIN IF DATEPART(weekday, @dIncr) NOT IN (1,7) INSERT INTO _Dates (d) VALUES( @dIncr ) SELECT @dIncr = DATEADD(DAY, 1, @dIncr ) END
