Default correcting a negative date formula


I have a sheet of data that has dates listed in reverse order as a
number. I cannot get excel to read it as a date and put it in the
correct date format. It currently reads like this: 20050921
The first 4 numbers are the year and the next two are the month and
then the day. I want it to read mm/dd/yyyy. Does anyone know how I
can do this with a formula? I do no know how to create a macro but I
can figure out most formulas. I just have not been able to come up
with anything that will correct this for me.
