Default Conditional Named Ranges

Excel allows a defined name to represent an array range or array constant. It
allows a name to represent a formula which is then evaluated to return a
value.
Why can I not define conditional arrays like these:
=IF(!$A$1=€Q1€,{€œJan€;€Feb€;€Mar€} ,IF(!$A$1=€Q2€, {€œApr€;€May€;€Jun€}))
=IF(!$A$1="Q1",!$A$2:!$A$4,IF(!$A$1="Q2",!$A$5:!$A $7))
When I try to enter their names in a vertical range, the first value is
returned in all cells.
