Very interesting takeaway - the use of the "or" operator in the "RegEx - Parse" function.

I took the methodical approach.  I felt I could have used a single regex to get it all the unformatted dates in one column, but then I figured it would be annoying to parse the different date formats from a single column, so I did it in steps so I could parse each format into dates simply.
