Default NEGATIVE DATES IN EXCEL

I have a spreadsheet with what excel refers to as a negative date, example:
20030112. What I want to do is format the date as 2003/01/12 or 01/12/2003,
but I can't find anything that works. I've used the format date function, the
DATEVALUE function; formatted the date as text, numbers to attempt to
reformat as a date. Is there a faster way to do this instead of manually
placing a "/" to separate year-month-date.
