Default Vlookup data wrong if the small value found are same

You might consider using Data Filter AutoFilter to filter the rows you
want.........using Custom Bottom 8 criteria..........

Dear Friends,

I need to find the smallest 8 amounts from hundreds of data and look up the
data of the corresponding amount. So I used the small function with
referrence to the Rank column and found two -100,000.00 and each of them
related to Joey and Keith. However, the vlookup function retrieved both data
as Joey and lost Keith's Number and Name. Same problem occurs if retrieving
the top 10 amounts with large function.

Thanks for your great help in advance.
