How to return value from a column based on sprcific value from another column, otherwise shows blank

Hi. 

In my table, I have 2 column which is "Name" and "Task Detail". I want to create a new column which will show the name of employee who put "Task Detail" as Off. If not Off, the value will be blank. 

Thanks a lot
