The import tool will not convert this to Datetime and I have tried many different options all of which will not allow me to convert the dates in this CSV file to datetime. Example of the format of the dates in the CSV file: {'1/1/2015 1:00:00 AM'} The format of the data is Month/Day/Year Hour:Min:Second AM or PM There are no "0"s infront of any of the month or day values. I have tried MM/DD/YYYY and many different versions of this format
Code that does not work:
DateStrings = importfile(:,'DateTime');
t = datetime(DateStrings,'InputFormat','M/d/y h:MM:SS a');
The clock values are a 12 hour clock as they start at just a date value and then the next value has the hour data and the AM/PM. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Use
t = datetime(DateStrings,'InputFormat','M/d/y h:mm:ss a');
instead. 'MM' --> Months and 'SS' --> fractional seconds fields. See <datetime-properties Format>

I used your code and this still comes up Error using datetime (line 613) Input data must be a numeric or a cell array or char matrix containing date/time strings. It is in a table as text '1/1/2015 1:00:00 AM'

Well, you didn't say that...extract the table column into a cell array or string array as instructed.

%After you have the strings of DateStrings, try the following
formatOut = 'dd mmm yyyy HH:MM:SS AM';
t=datestr(datenum(DateStrings,'dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS',1900),formatOut)

The following works then I just have to join the two variables and put back to the origianl variable S = importfile{:,3}; DateStrings = S(:,1);
t = datetime(DateStrings,'InputFormat','M/d/y h:mm:ss a'); t1 = datetime(DateStrings,'InputFormat','M/d/y');
