1 From given name list all groups that have selected that name horizontally.

2 Which means extract items with one condition.

3 Display items horizontally: use COLUMNS function for number incrementor.
4 "Data extraction" array formula
5 Problem: one lookup value, "Name", that shows up as multiple duplicates in a column.

6 Therefore you have many "matched" row numbers that the lookup function has to deal with.
7 Because we have an array of "matched" row numbers means we must use an array formula.
8 Lookup function will be: INDEX.
Function that can "select" correct "relative position" for INDEX function as we copy formula down:
9 SMALL or AGGREGATE.
10 IF function or Boolean array operation will help us with our one condition "Name".

AGGREGATE is only in Excel 2010 or later. AGGREGATE can do array calcualtion in array argumnet for
11 functions 14 to 19 without having to enter the formula with Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
