You are right, sorry, formula works only on Excel with dynamic arrays. CSE formula on pre-DA Excel doesn't work. It looks like TEXTJOIN as array formula is workable only with nested IF, but I din't dig too deep.
As workaround I'd suggest to add helper column to this your table
adding filename as
=VLOOKUP([@[pictures_id]],pictures,4)
When in the main table
it'll be
=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF(Tabel3[items_id]=[@id],Tabel3[Filename],""))
I checked on semi-annual channel with pre-DA Excel, it works.
