Default VLOOKUP bug?


No doubt and hopefully this isn't a bug but I just can't see what is
wrong?! I have the following formula in a worksheet :
=VLOOKUP(MIN(C4:C204),$C$4:$E$204,3). This formula worked fine but
then I made a copy of the worksheet to insert different data. With the
new data, the formula returns #N/A (obviously this hasn't affected the
old worksheet). I have traced the problem back to something strange
with the data; the min value is 1.40653205 (this is the 102nd entry)
but if I change this to a larger number so that the 101st entry is the
min, the formula works. The original worksheet has the min as the
101st value. This isn't the end of it though. With some other data
that has the min value in the 100th entry it still doesn't work? I've
tried to put the worksheet in a new workbook and also tried changing
the formula to =VLOOKUP(1.40642214,$C$4:$E$204,3). If I change the
formula to =VLOOKUP(1.999,$C$4:$E$204,3) or a larger number, it works!
So now I just can't understand why it works with the original worksheet
data. I've also tried putting this data into my new workbook and it
does work. WHAT THE!!!
