I am having a bit of issue calculating time between 2 dates.
hoping to do this in formula as the sheet is pretty long
here is an example

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
You're having problems because those date/times aren't in a format that Excel recognizes as such.

Does this work for you?
=SUBSTITUTE(REPLACE(B2,LEN(B2)-1,0," ")," ",", ",2)-SUBSTITUTE(REPLACE(A2,LEN(A2)-1,0," ")," ",", ",2)

got a #value error-
this is what i used
=SUBSTITUTE(REPLACE(L2,LEN(L2)-1,0," ")," ",", ",2)-SUBSTITUTE(REPLACE(J2,LEN(J2)-1,0," ")," ",", ",2)
i had to replace the a's ieth j's and the b's with L's

but it gives error back

Perhaps if you could download the xl2bb plugin and post an actual sample of your sheet, rather than an image, because my sample looks the same as your text and it works for me.
