jazmarc You may want to use a pivot table for this and filter by the names you are interested in. You could even add a slicer to easily select those names.

=FILTER(A:A,ISNUMBER(MATCH($AO:$AO,$CC:$CC)))
where I have the names listed in column CC (you could change that to a different column, different sheet, or defined name)
and then copy that right for however many columns you need.
