Default Change date from yyyymmdd to valid date format

something like this:

=DATE(LEFT(A2,4),MID(A2,5,2),RIGHT(A2,2))

will convert to a standard XL date.

I imported data from an industry-specific software into Excel. The 09/02/09
date, for example, converted to 20090902 in Excel. How can I change this to a
valid date format?
