Default format number to date

When I run a query from work and post the information in Excel, the date
shows an odd format. For instance, for July 20, 2009, the date would read
1090720. I would like to format this into a date that is recognized by
Excel. I am able to spread the data out using "text to columns" and then
using =B1&"/"&C1&"/20"&"A1 so that it looks like 7/20/2009, but Excel doesn't
recognize this as a date so I can't do any conditional formatting. Please
help.
