    subhashgc , actually you'd like to return first column filtered by condition on second one. That's like

    =FILTER(B3:B8,C3:C8="Yes")

    but since above function available only for Office Insiders we may imitate it by

    =IFERROR(INDEX($B$3:$B$8,AGGREGATE(15,6,1/($C$3:$C$8="Yes")*(ROW($C$3:$C$8)-ROW($C$2)),(ROW()-ROW($E$2)))),"")

    in E3 above and drag it down.

     

    Here AGGREGATE returns rows for which we meet the condition, we take next smallest and by this position INDEX returns the value from first column.
