Or, you do not know how to do it?

I would never claim a possible lack of knowledge! But, in this case, I am
fairly certain it wasn't me.

I used FIND to locate the space between the date and the time. I used LEFT
to extract the characters prior to the space and when that did not produce
a numerical value, I tried both VALUE and TIMEVALUE to convert it to a
numerical value. Neither worked.

Knowing where the space between the date and the time was and determing the
LEN of the entire text string, I used MID to extract the characters
following the space. When that did not produce a numerical value, I tried
both VALUE and TIMEVALUE to convert it to a numerical value. Neither
worked.

VALUE and TIMEVALUE apply to TEXT strings ONLY both in Excel and LibO

If you want to parse a value field you have to use different functions

See above.,

How did you import the Tab delimited file to LibO?

I did not. I had already done a lot of work with the information in Excel
which I did not want to redo. I saved my work (in .xls instead of .xlsx)
and opened that in Calc.

Does Calc have issues with opening tab-delimited files?
