Issues using FILTER formula

I am trying to use the FILTER formula to return only the results that meet a criteria listed on column B. On column A, I am using the UNIQUE function to bring unique values from a different table. Column B has 1/0 values related to the data on column A. In column C, I would like to have only the values in column A that have Yes in column B. For this I am using the formula:

=FILTER(A2:A184,B2:B184 =1)

However, the result of the formula is #n/a

Any idea on how to fix the issue?

Additional details:
Columns ABC are not in a table but in range format
When selecting the array for the filter formula by using crtl+shift+down, the range returned is "A2#". I needed to manually update the array to reflect A2:A184
The values on column B (1/0) are not typed numbers, the result of an IF formula.

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
You are mixing and matching the column references eg images use different columns than your narration.
I am going to run with your image references.

The only way that I can replicate that behaviour is if your column N is also a formula and is returning #N/A which causes your IF statement in Column N to return #N/A.
This in turn is causing the filter to return #N/A.
(Note: N/A in columns I to K do not seem to cause the issue)
I suggest you wrap whatever formula you have in Column N in an if error function.
