Try:

D1: =IFERROR(INDEX(B:B,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$100=3,IF($B$2:$B$101=1,ROW($B$3:$B$102))),ROWS($D$1:$D1))),"")
change the ranges to match your sheet, confirm with Control+Shift+Enter. Copy down the column.
Hello Eric, as I haven't got "IFERROR" I tried to change formula as bellow
D1: =IF(ISERROR(INDEX(B:B,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$100=3,IF($B$2:$B$101=1,ROW($B$3:$B$102))),ROWS($D$1:$D1)))),"")
It is giving a result in D1 & down = FALSE

Regards,
Moti

You could just remove the IFERROR like this:

=INDEX(B:B,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$100=3,IF($B$2:$B$101=1,ROW($B$3:$B$102))),ROWS($D$1:$D1)))
with Control+Shift+Enter, and then just ignore any errors you get on the end of the list,

or you could create a helper cell that counts how many matches there are, and adapt the formula like this:

Excellent! Eric, Thank you very much for the help, your latest formula in D2 is resulting as treat. Also the formula you added in E2, which count matches, is helpful

Thank you for the explanation how to remove IFERROR. Also the previous formula you modified is working perfect

Have a pleasant day

Kind Regards,
Moti :)

.. your latest formula in D2 is resulting as treat.
You should check that carefully as I think you will find it results in the last value being omitted unless you omit the red = sign below.

{=IF(ROWS($D$2:$D2)>=$E$2,"",INDEX(B:B,SMALL(IF($B$2:$B$100=3,IF($B$3:$B$101=1,ROW($B$4:$B$102))),ROWS($D$2:$D2))))}

Good catch Peter, yes it was missing last 1, just removed "=" and now extracting all 15

Thank you for observing it.

Kind Regards,
Moti :)
