All in one tool! Spotted some problems in the original data so minorly cleaned before processing.

After learning a few of the time specifiers this became pretty simple.

Used 3 formulas to get the answer, and then used two more to convert the answer to string as per output. I tried to wrap the last two formulas around my time calculations, but it didn't work in the same column for some reason.

JoeM, thanks for another interesting solution! I learned something new again.

 

Realised that I didn't convert 24h to 12h before, so here is my updated solution.

Wow that was unpleasant. Whatever happened to Alteryx requiring "no coding"?
