Default Time format

Hello all:

I was wondering if I can make that when I enter in a cell 5p it should
automatically format as 5:00 PM and so on. And if I enter 5 without a p or a
then it should note that you must enter a "p" or "a". I know how to do it in
a seperate cell as below. But was wondering if I can enter the formula in the
same cell where I put the number, in the format cell feature or somewhere
else. Any help would be appriciated.

The formula I use is:
=IF(OR(RIGHT(A2,1)="a",RIGHT(A2,1)="p"),IF(RIGHT(A 2,1)="a",CONCATENATE(TEXT(LEFT(A2,1),"#:\0\0"),"
","AM"),CONCATENATE(TEXT(LEFT(A2,1),"#:\0\0"), " ","PM")),"Please enter a or
p").

Thanks,
