Making Friday a half working day for leave requests

Hi, 

 

New to Power apps but have some basic understanding of it.

 

looking to make friday a half working day for leave requests. Idealy i would have the whole thing working in hours as we have our holidays registered as hours not days.

 

 

//**** CALCULATION USED TO DETERMINE TOTAL WORK DAYS REQUESTED ****

If(LeaveStartDatePicker.SelectedDate <= LeaveEndDatePicker.SelectedDate,
Set(_inclusiveTotalDaysRequested, DateDiff(LeaveStartDatePicker.SelectedDate, LeaveEndDatePicker.SelectedDate, Days) + 1);
Set(_numFullWeeks, RoundDown(_inclusiveTotalDaysRequested / 7, 0));
Set(_numFullDaysPartialWeek, _inclusiveTotalDaysRequested - _numFullWeeks * 7);
Concurrent(Set(_startWeekday, Weekday(LeaveStartDatePicker.SelectedDate)), Set(_endWeekday, Weekday(LeaveEndDatePicker.SelectedDate)));
//calculates the number of business days in the partial week left over after whole weeks are subtracted out of total days requested
If(_numFullDaysPartialWeek = 5,
If(_startWeekday <= 1, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 5,0.5), Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 4)
),
_numFullDaysPartialWeek = 5,
If(_startWeekday = 2, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 5), _startWeekday = 1 || _startWeekday = 3 || _startWeekday = 4, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 4), Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 3)
),
_numFullDaysPartialWeek = 4,
If(_startWeekday = 2 || _startWeekday = 3, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 4), _startWeekday = 1 || _startWeekday = 4, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 3), Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 2)
),
_numFullDaysPartialWeek = 3,
If(_startWeekday = 6 || _startWeekday = 7, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 1), _startWeekday = 1 || _startWeekday = 5, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 2), Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 3)
),
_numFullDaysPartialWeek = 2,
If(_startWeekday = 7, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 0), _startWeekday = 1 || _startWeekday = 6, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 1), Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 2)),
_numFullDaysPartialWeek = 1,
If(_startWeekday = 1 || _startWeekday = 7, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 0), Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 1)
),
_numFullDaysPartialWeek = 0, Set(_numPartialWeekdays, 0)
);
Set(_workDaysInRequest, _numFullWeeks * 5 + _numPartialWeekdays);
Set(_holidaysInRequest, CountIf(Holidays, StartDate >= LeaveStartDatePicker.SelectedDate, StartDate <= LeaveEndDatePicker.SelectedDate));
Set(_requestedDays, _workDaysInRequest - _holidaysInRequest)
)

 

This is the code that i am working with at the minute.  

 

Our working week is Monday to Thursday full days (8 Hours) and Friday half day (5 Hours).

IF there is a way to convert it to hours this would be great as we can carry hours over from previous years.

 

Any help appreciated
