I need to link only certain cell...

I am trying to create a shipping list from a long list of items. On a given row I have a column called "Descrition" and a column called "ship". On my shipping list I want to link to the "Descrition" column only if there is an "x" under the "ship" column. My formula is this
=IF(Sheet1!S9="X",Sheet1!E9,IF(Sheet1!S10="X",Sheet1!E10,IF(Sheet1!S11="X",Sheet1!E11,"")))

This is fine to go and find the first row that has an "x". My question is how do I format the next formula to go and start after it finds the first "x" and so forth. I would appreciate any ideas. thanks

One way using non array formulas ..

In Sheet1, assume the list of descriptions is within E9:E100,
and the "x"'s would be marked within S9:S100.

Use an empty col to the right, say col T
Put in T9: =IF(S9="x",ROW(),"")
Copy down to T100
(cover the extent of data in col E)

Then in Sheet2, suppose the list of descriptions is to be extracted in B2
down

Put in B2:
=IF(ISERROR(SMALL(Sheet1!$T$9:$T$100,ROW(A1))),"",INDEX(Sheet1!$E$9:$E$100,M
ATCH(SMALL(Sheet1!$T$9:$T$100,ROW(A1)),Sheet1!$T$9:$T$100,0)))

Copy B2 down to B93
(cover the same range extent as in Sheet1)

Col B will extract the desired results, all neatly bunched at the top
