Default Format date and time from one contiguous field

I'm importing a plain text field into a spreadsheet which contains the date
and time as one number in yyyymmddhhmmss format. For example, August 18 at
2:30 PM would be 20080818143000. How can I format the field so it shows as
something more readable like 2008/08/18 14:30:30? I've attempted to create a
custom field category type, but have not been successful. Thank you in
advance.
