match two criteria and return multiple records in a list
I have a problem set where I have a table of three columns. I need all the values in Column A that meet my selected criteria from both Column B and Column C to be returned in a format that I can put into Data Validation in list form. I've tried a variety of different way but this problem is just beyond me
That could be
=COUNTIF($I$9:$I$16,I31)* INDEX($K$9:$K$16,MATCH($I31,$I$9:$I$16,0))* INDEX($L$9:$L$16,MATCH($I31,$I$9:$I$16,0))* INDEX($N$9:$N$16,MATCH($I31,$I$9:$I$16,0))* K31

If you have a spreadsheet created, even if it's not functional yet, it would help us visualize what you're trying to describe if we could see it. But you should expect that we might come back and ask for a more complete description of what you are actually trying to do.
So it would help if in addition to posting your spreadsheet as it is, if you could also give an example or two of what your sentence (in italics below) means in practice. That is, show what the values in A might be, both the selected and the unselected; are those values in column A in the form of words, numbers, codes, etc.? What are the entries in Col B and C that serve as criteria? How would the extracted values be used (together, in combination, or as individual entries in a data validation list?....

My table is $A$2:$C$25. I have 2 dropdowns in cell locations F2 and F3 that correspond to B2:B35 and C2:C35, respectively. What I want is a formula that takes both of those criteria from F2 and F3 into account and creates a new drop down list in cell F5 that pulls all the options in A2:A35 that meet both of those criteria.
I hope I'm being clear.
