When you say "number format", do you mean number of seconds or something else?

@F718772 assuming that you are referencing the hour of the day (1 = 1AM, 2 = 2AM, etc.). If so, here is one formula based solution.

In the formula, I am handing the Byte-formatted hour field as a string with the ToString syntax so it can be concatenated with other text strings to produce the desired format.

Yep. It looks like you can use the Formula Tool,

 

ToDateTime([Field1]/24)

 

And save the type as "Time". Example attached.
