Fixed it correctly the first time, but as others have pointed out the output was had the words smashed together. So I corrected the output.

DateTime tool creates new column with converted field.

Given that I would use the Select tool early on, I placed DateTime first, to avoid extra operations.

Assuming potentially more rows, I generally use Data Cleansing tool to Remove Unwanted Characters: Leading and Trailing Whitespace and Tabs, Line Breaks, and Duplicate Whitespace.

 

Any suggestions on how (if) this could be more efficient? :)

My Solution doesn't quite match the given answer as i have a space where the tab was. But i think this is more complete anyways.
