Maybe but it will format AM and PM automatically while my formula will give
the option to the regional settings and if the time is more than 24 hours
like 2530 your formula will only return 01:30 even if it is formatted as
[hh]:mm

This does the same thing, but may be a bit more intuitive:

=TIME(INT(A1/100),MOD(A1,100),0)

You can't use format to do this, you would need a formula (or a macro)
and
help cells, then you can copy and paste as special over the old values,
with
your value in A1

=(INT(A1/100)+MOD(A1,100)/60)/24

format as hh:mm
