Default Custom Cell format to mimic time format

Hi

=TIME(INT(A1),100*(A1-INT(A1));0)

Another way
=TIMEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(A1,"00.00"),".",":"))

I am trying to make the custom cell format change the display of a
number like 3.20 to 3:20
I tried ?0":" for a cell format but I cant get the decimal part to
work. I basically want it to look like a time format but not be one. If
I use mm:ss then it totally changes 3.20 into 4:48 Some time conversion
is applied.

0.":"_.00 was close. It shows 3.:20

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
Scott
