    COUNTIF Anomaly

    The formula in column D is supposed to put the dates in columns A:B in ascending order, eliminating duplicates (though there are none in this example).

    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    1
    Begin
    End
    Ordered

    		 D2: =SMALL($A$2:$B$7, COUNTIF($A$2:$B$7, "<=" & D1) + 1)

    Why does the formula start repeating the same result in D5?

    It's the COUNTIF part that's returning the wrong result.
