Default Reformat a date imported from another program

I export data from another program into Excel. This data contains dates
which are formatted like this: yyyymmdd000000. When the data is imported
into Excel, the date shows in the cell like #.#####E+13. The formula bar
shows the date as it appears in the original program (yyyymmdd000000). How
can this date format be converted to mm/dd/yyyy or another date format which
excludes extraneous zeros?
