    Index and Match has duplicate results

    Hi, new to this:

    I have been battling with trying to extract data from a range of data and I am getting duplicate results:

    See attached, in E2 I am putting in the name "Bob", with a formula =IFERROR(INDEX(B2:B11,MATCH($E$2,$A2:$A11,0)),"")
    the result in G2,H2 and I2 have come from the first column with Bob or B5,C5 and D5
    The next 3 rows come back with duplicate data, then when it gets to G6, H6, and I6 I am getting the rest of the data I am looking for
    My question is" how do I stop it from duplicating, and only give me the 4 set of results I am looking for?, i.e B,C,D 4 to 8

    Thank for the help
    Jonathan

    In F2 Cell - Array Formula - Requires CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

    =IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$11,SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$11=$E$2,ROW(A$2:A$11)-MIN(ROW(A$2:A$11))+1),ROW(1:1))),"")

    Drag it down and right...

    Array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER.
