Default Separating Date and Time

Put the text string in A1.
Place this in B1
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,7,2))

Format column B as a date in the format you would like.

20091110120000[0:GMT]. returns 11/10/2009 (or Nov. 10, 2009)

I am working with data received from my financial institution. The date and
time field returns the following data: 20091110120000[0:GMT]. The time is not
important, but I am looking to separate the date into a mm/dd/yyyy format.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
