Where “names” is the named range B6:B17, and times is the named range D6:D17. This is an array formula and must be entered with Control + Shift + Enter. This generates an array of TRUE / FALSE values, where TRUE corresponds to rows where the name matches the value in F6: The “value if true” for IF is the named range “times”, which returns the full set of times. The result is that the array from the logical test effectively “filters” the time values....
