Extract values from range that match 2 criteria and return results in single cell

[Dave_P_C]

I have a table of around 1000 rows and 25 columns from which I want to query on 2 parameters and return the results in a single cell.

The table below is simplified to show what I am trying to achieve but essentially I am trying to create a query (without VBA if possible) that will lookup all the EVENTS of a given number with a TYPE of hard and return all the NAMES in a single cell. For example, the results of querying against EVENT=2 and TYPE=HARD would return ABC, NOP, WXY.

EVENT	NAMES	TYPE
2	ABC	HARD
2	CDE	SOFT
1	EFG	HARD
3	HIJ	MED
1	KLM	MED
2	NOP	HARD
3	QRS	HARD
2	TUV	SOFT
2	WXY	HARD

<tbody>
</tbody>

I have played around with TEXTJOIN and INDEX MATCH queries but not worked out a solution.

{=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF(event=2,name,""))} works if I wanted to have all the EVENT 2 names but if I try to add a second filter for TYPE it does not work

{=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF(event=2,IF(type="HARD",name,"")))}

Can this be achieved with TEXTJOIN or would it need some other query?

Thanks,

Smaller set and I'm not sure how it would work with the larger data set but:

Book1
	A	B	C	D	E
1	EVENT	NAMES	TYPE		ABC,NOP,WXY
2	2	ABC	HARD
3	2	CDE	SOFT
4	1	EFG	HARD
5	3	HIJ	MED
6	1	KLM	MED
7	2	NOP	HARD
8	3	QRS	HARD
9	2	TUV	SOFT
10	2	WXY	HARD

Thank You WBD,

Your formula works on the larger data set as well.

I see part of the the issue with mine was trying to use names for ranges rather than cell / column references.
