I think the numberformat can't calculate. You might need to add a helper column to calculate the new time. That you can format.

If you want to replace the date text string into a real date you could do like in the picture below. But there are many ways to do it. Simple formating is not possible you have to remove the offset first. So a helper column is needed for this.

=TEXTBEFORE(A5;{" ";"-"};3;;1) 0

replace semicolon with comma if your Excel version needs.
