Hello! Thanks for any help in advance:

I'm attempting to create a "dynamic invoice" of sorts, with names being pulled from a "refresh-able" table.
By that term, I mean an excel table that (I'm assuming) is pulling from an SQL query and just needs the "refresh all" button on the Data tab to be hit.

Here is an example of my table, with the headers in col A row 1, continuing down to K row 5 at the bottom:

The goal is to create a formula that will pull all of the *unique* names from a list that meet the following criteria:
1) Must be under the "Shipping" Area_Name
2) Must have a Prdate between 05/01/2020 - 05/31/2020 OR Must have a Month value = 5,
3) Can't have repeat names, IE the *unique* part

The reason for this need to craft an "automated" datasheet for some of my operations leaders in order to verify billing hours within a month.
I also want to make it as.... accessible as possible for the less....tech-savvy. Being able to tell them to simply "Refresh All" would be a great benefit.

At the end of this basic example, the results should show:
Patrick Pentagon
Spongebob Circlepants

Please let me know if I'm missing any important points.

Thanks for your help!
