All,

 

If you do not like custom code, you will love this, if not, then not so much...

Lets see here:
9 Filter tools
8 Select tools
7Formula Tools
3 Summations
2 Sorts
1 Join
1 Regex &1 text to Column
-This challenge was interesting as the hardest part was the fact that the location had 6 different patterns/combinations as once you got opast that the parsing wasn't that bad. I used a cascade method where I kept using the filter to give me different sets with the same pattern so that I could label them and then I sued a union to bring them back together and a multi-row tool to add back in the county.
-Cheers!

I think my parsing could be done better.  I will see what others did.
