I have excel 2007 and run a query out of Oracle. The dates appear as
YYYYMMDD and I need for excel to recognize this as a date.
 
Just for info.

If you select the column of dates and Data>Text to Columns>Next>Next>Column
Data Format>Date>YMD and Finish, you will get real dates.

i think you can open an excel file in 2003. once in 2003 excel click the cell
and go to format. then on the number tab find date. click ok. youre done
