Hi All,

I'm trying to produce a ceiling formula to match and identify a row number for indexing. But due to the numbers in column B not having a uniformed spacing between them it is proving very difficult. Maybe there is a better system i should use?

Example below:

For reference column B is a dimension in mm, row 1 is a dimension in mm and the data within the table is a sale price in £.
