Default DATE FORMAT IN PIVOT TABLE FROM EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE

I have created a pivot table directly from an external data source (ODBC
database). I would like to group the results by year/quarter/etc., however
the Pivot Table does not seem to be recognising the date field as a date
format. The field is displayed as "20070222" but I cannot convert it to a
date, and I have not figured out a way to use the calculated field either.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!
