Default Military Time Issue


I have created a project that finds the difference between multiple
times and then adds up the differences. All of which is formatted in
military time and some times utilize two different days.

I would (actually the boss) would like to have the times entered
without the use of ":" and just straight "hhmm" format, to make it
easier to enter.

I changed the format to reflect hhmm, but when I enter the time it
displays in the cell as "0000" and then in the fz box as a date and
time that is nowhere close to what was entered. Then it does not do
the calculations correctly in the next cells.

If the data is already entered and I change the format to hhmm, it
works just fine, but it won't work to be able to enter it.

Any help would be appreciated, I think I am completely lost with this
one.

See attachment for example of what is being done.
