    In B2, =SMALL($B$2:$B$8, SUM(COUNTIF($B$2:$B$8, F$1:F1)) + 1)

    ... confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    Thanks Shg it solved my prob, but I would like to know, does small( ) function should itself handle. Any specific reason for small( ) not recognizing repeated nums.. just wanted to know !!

    SMALL works exactly as it was designed; think LARGE instead: "The top six scores on the test were 100, 99, 99, 98, 98, 95, ..."
