Default Lookup multiple results with gaps

Hi,
My Data is Set-Up in this format.
A B D E
Hours Dept.Names Criteria Expected Results
8.34 A B 8.34
8.34 7.21
7.64 3.21
7.21
7.21
3.21
6.64
3.21
6.62
8.34 B
7.21
3.21
9.21 C
4.15
8.34
10.11
Column A are the hours.
Column B are the Dept. names
Cell D2 has the criteria
I would like a formula that returns multiple results for Dept. B in
cell E2 and filler down.
I could use this formula:
=INDEX(A$2:A$80,SMALL(IF(B$2:B$80=D$2,ROW(A$2:A$15 )-ROW(A$2)+1,""),ROWS(A$2*:A2)))

But if you notice that in column B has gaps between them anyway we
could go around that without any helper columns or helper cells? A all
in one formula.
