My question is very similar to the one described here: How can I pass an array's elements as individual arguments to a function? The twist here is doing it inside Google sheets. In column A, there are a series of entries, from which I want to filter those that match certain criteria, and then in some other individual cells, populate the n-th result of the filter.

COL A1:A4

John A

Hector C

Mario G

Hecate J

Cell C4: =CHOOSE(1,FILTER(A1:A4, LEFT(A1:A4,1)="H"))

Cell D8: =CHOOSE(2,FILTER(A1:A4, LEFT(A1:A4,1)="H"))

But what happens is that C4:C5 are populated with Hector C and Hecate J, and D8 returns "Error Function CHOOSE parameter 1 value is 2. Valid values are between 1 and 1 inclusive."

My conclusion is that the Array that FILTER returns, is simply taken as a single argument by the CHOOSE function, instead of taking the individual elements as arguments. I tried fiddling with the ArrayFormula, but no luck. I tried the long shot of preppending the "..." and obviously is not recognized as a function.

Any ideas that do not involve writing my own Script function? Thanks.
