If you'd prefer a single-cell formula (easier to edit), you could

use this formula, also by Daniel.M --

=IF(ROW(A1)-ROW(A$1)+1>COUNT(B$1:B$6),"",
INDEX(A:A,SMALL(B$1:B$6,1+ROW(A1)-ROW(A$1))))

He suggests that it is best for small ranges (<=200 cells)

Enter the formula in cell C1.

Copy the formula down to row 6.
