Default lookup

With your posted data list in A1:F4

For an exact match...

Try this:
A8: (Test to use....eg 2)
A9: (value to find...eg 1.5)

This formula returns the top row score
associated with the A9 score
for the A8 test.
=INDEX(A1:F1,MATCH(A9,OFFSET(A1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4, 0),),0))

NOTE: if the A9 value is not found....the formula returns an error.

Does that help?
Post back if you have more questions.
