Can anyone help me to convert the format of time entered from HHMM to
HH:MM in the same cell.

For example:
Date entry converts to, in the same cell
0840 08:40
1150 11:60

Thanks

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

and format as time

Why would 1150 become 11:60? (or is it just a typo?)

I don't think you can do that directly in the same cell unless it's for
display purposes only, in which case you could use a custom format of

00\:00

If you actually want to change the value then you need to do that with VBA
or a formula in another cell, e.g.

=TEXT(A1,"00\:00")+0
