Select a number of cells to accommodate all possible values on the other
sheet, and in the formula bar enter

=IF(ISERROR(SMALL(IF(Sheet1!$B$1:$B$20<"",ROW(She et1!$A1:$A20),""),ROW(Shee
t1!$A1:$A20))),"",
INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$20,SMALL(IF(Sheet1!$B1:$B20< "",ROW(Sheet1!$A1:$A20),""
),ROW(Sheet1!$A1:$A20))))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
