is there a formula out there?

[lynn]

I have list of numbers (approx 350) that is five digits long. Is it possible
to use a formula to extract the 1st, 3rd and 4th digits from these numbers
and make another list. (ie. 12345 becomes 134, there are '0's starting and
ending some of the numbers)

=LEFT(A2,1) & MID(A2,3,1) & MID(A2,4,1)

=LEFT(A2,1) & MID(A2,3,1) & MID(A2,4,1)

Use Data>Text to Columns to split the numbers. You can specify the split
point as fixed points, each digit in your case.
