I'm trying to grasp index, match to work on a spread sheet. All of the other questions I find are not helping all that much.

Cells E/D (DOGS,CATS) is what I want the output to look like, I want to match all data in the C column to cell E1 (DOGS), and display the name.
Code:
{=INDEX($A$2:$C$5,MATCH($E$1,$C2:$C$5,0),1)}
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
1. Make your data consistent.
In the output change the column heading to DOG and CAT, not DOGS and CATS

2. in H2
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$5,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$2:$A$5)/(($C$2:$C$5=E$1)),ROWS(A$2:A2))-(2-1),1),"")
copy across and down for as many rows as you have names in column A (in this case down to row 5)

"I utlilized this code"
To whom are you referring, you have two answers but used only one solution?

Wiht "Brown" in column D
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$5,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$2:$A$5)/(($C$2:$C$5=E$1)*(D$2:D$5="Brown"),ROWS(A$2:A2))-(2-1),1),"")

You're welcome.

If you present your idea of ​​how you have your data and how you want the results we could establish a formula.
Maybe, it would be better to use a pivot table.
