Default Obtaining Multiple Results using muliple Criteria from an Array

If it would be acceptable to have your results on the same page as your data,
look at using AutoFilter.

In one worksheet, I have a data source of 50-100 records each with 4
descriptive attributes in columns of which I'd like to use as search
criteria: Dev_Type_Src, Mkt_Type_Src, Proj_Man_Src, and Proj_Name_Src. In a
Second worksheet I have 4 named Cells: Dev_Type, Mkt_Type, Proj_Man, and
Proj_Name. I would like to create a search in which if one or more values is
entered in those 4 named cells, A list is produced of all projects (from
Proj_Name_Src) that match the values entered in those 4 named cells. If a
value is entered in Proj_Name, it should produce only one result as projects
are unique, and this is easily done with an IF function
(=IF(Proj_Name<0,Proj_Name,"")). However, the other three criteria have
multiple matching records each. So if I enter a Dev_Type value such as
"Capex", there should be several dozen matching project names. I can get the
first project name using Index/Match functions, but how can I obtain muliplte
matching results in a list?
Source Data sample:
"Dev_Type_Src" "Mkt_Type_Src" "Proj_Man_Src" "Proj_Name_Src"
Capex PSSG Perry Software 2007
SOP 98-1 RSGU Perry Infrastructure
Other PSSG Brian Operations 2007
Internal RSGU Brian Project 2007
SOP 98-1 RSGU Brian XML Development
Other CSSG Brian Integrated Systems
Capex RSGU Stephanie Practice Aids


Search Worksheet Data:
Enter values
Development Type "Capex"
Market "PSSG"
Project Manager "Perry"
Project Name " "

Projects:
"List results here"
