Extract certain data from array where repeats are present (but constant values)

Hello, I have some data where I my relevant column (Y position) is as this yellow graph

I want to pull out just the data that is between the green arrows - I do know the actual starting and finishing Y positions (101 and 121 respectively) , but there are other values at these values - but they are constant
My data is actually in an array, and the Yposition is column 2, but I delete the 1st column, so the column becomes 1
this was my attempt to remove all rows of my array outside of these green arrows.
% Get user input to the real starting and finishing Y values
prompt = {'Col:','start:','finish:'};
dlgtitle = 'Keep Rows Between';
dims = [1 35];
definput = {'1','101','121'}; % definput = {'Region:',num2str(X),num2str(Y)};
answer = inputdlg(prompt,dlgtitle,dims,definput);
col=str2num(answer{1}); low=str2num(answer{2}); high=str2num(answer{3});
% Get Current table data
t=app.UITable;
d=t.Data;
d=rmmissing(d); % One wat Remove Nans
Y=table2array(d);
Y=Y(:,col);
low
head(Y)
class(Y)
% Get index of
idx1=find(Y<=low);
idx2=find(Y>=high);
size(idx1)
size(idx2)
id=[idx1;idx2];
d(id,:)=[];
t.Data=d;
However, this keeps all values not just within the greena rrows.
I have included my data

Why not as follows,
low= find(Y==min(Y),1,'last');
high=find(Y==max(Y),1,'first');
d=d(low:high,:);
