Daniel asks:

	A	B
1	14	20
2	12	25
3	10	35
4	8	50
5	4	65

I have a cell at let say E5 s equal to 30 the next number up is 35 and i want to display the 10. If E5 is equal to 55 than i want it to display 4. What is the formula for this?

If the data is located in A2:B6, then use this formula:

=INDEX($A$2:$A$6,MATCH(E5,$B$2:$B$6)+1)
