I've gotten pretty good with extracting various types of content from cells. But this is a head scratcher. I want convert time values from imported text data, but the time formats are different. I started building a long formula using a series of IF, COUNTIF, MID, FIND, AND, OR, and TIME functions, but I'm having trouble building ONE formula or array that can go through the various time and text formats to return the desired results in the START DATE and END DATE columns.

NOTE: The second to last line "8:00:00 PM" returns a text value of "0.833333333"...not sure why.

And if possible, I would like to highlight cells that need to be reviewed for further clarification (see the 3 lines below data examples).

FYI: There is also a date column I will be merging with the result calculations.
