Hi, welcome to the forum!

Try to post example data that covers all the possibilities directly in a reply to this thread and explain what the expected results should be in relation to that example data.

Images are not helpful, as any potential helpers out there would need to manually type out all of the values from the image into a spreadsheet to test with.

I agree with user FormR. That said....

The following demonstrates a formula to convert all possible forms of dates in your image.

    A             B
1   12h           12:00:00
2   12h:34m       12:34:00
3   12h:34m:56s   12:34:56
4   12m            0:12:00
5   12m:34s        0:12:34
6   12s            0:00:12

B1: =IF(COUNTIF(A1,"*h*"), IF(COUNTIF(A1,"*m*"),
        --SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"h",""),"m",""),"s",""), --SUBSTITUTE(A1,"h",":0")),
    IF(COUNTIF(A1,"*m*"), IF(COUNTIF(A1,"*s*"),
       --SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"m",""),"s",".0"), --SUBSTITUTE(A1,"m",":0.0")),
    --("0:" & SUBSTITUTE(A1,"s",".0"))))

Copy B1 into B2:B6
Format B1:B6 as Custom [h]:mm:ss

To sum a column of such dates, use the following array-entered formula (press ctrl+shift+Enter instead of just Enter):

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("h",A1:A100)), IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("m",A1:A100)),
        --SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A100,"h",""),"m",""),"s",""), --SUBSTITUTE(A1:A100,"h",":0")),
    IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("m",A1:A100)), IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("s",A1:A100)),
       --SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A100,"m",""),"s",".0"), --SUBSTITUTE(A1:A100,"m",":0.0")),
    IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("s",A1:A100)),  --("0:" & SUBSTITUTE(A1:A100,"s",".0")), 0))))

formatted as Custom [h]:mm:ss
