B1 =A1 and apply a custom format of HHMM

I have a column of time values, (formatted for example as 14:50 or 6:15). I
am flexible on the format of this column. In an adjacent column I need the
time value to be converted to text so that 14:50 reads as 1450. Simply
speaking, I need the colon removed. Thank you in advance.
