Question: I want a unique list to be created from a column where an adjacent

column has cell values between 2 and 8?

Answer:

To the right is a picture of the list I will be working with. I created named ranges, List_category (A2:A11) and a named range for the start cell of the list, List_category_start (A2).
List_value (A2:A11) and a named range for the start cell of the list, List_value_start (A2).

This formula is long. I am sure it can be done shorter. Formula in E5:E14:

=IF(COUNT(IF(IF(ISERROR(MATCH(IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ), IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ""), 0)), "", MATCH(IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ), IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ""), 0))=(ROW(List_category)-ROW(List_category_start)+1), MATCH(IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ), IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ""), 0), ""))>=(ROW(List_category)-ROW(List_category_start)+1), INDEX(List_category, SMALL(IF(IF(ISERROR(MATCH(IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ), IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ""), 0)), "", MATCH(IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ), IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ""), 0))=(ROW(List_category)-ROW(List_category_start)+1), MATCH(IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ), IF(($F$1<List_value)*($F$2>List_value), List_category, ""), 0), ""), (ROW(List_category)-ROW(List_category_start)+1))), "") + Ctrl + Shift+ Enter

Yellow cells are user input cells. See picture below.
