Default Newbe help with a lookup


Thanks for the reply *Biff*, but I have an error somewhere. This is the
formula I have in cell E17,:

=INDEX($A$1:$A$31,MATCH(D17,$C$1:$C$31))

Excel is returning a "9" when the correct answer is "10"

70,804.95 is closer to 70,935.00 (Step 10) than 70,482.00 (Step 9)

Where 70,804.95 is the Computed New Salary, 70,935.00 is the New Matrix
Step 10 & 70,482.00 is the New Matrix Step 9

Here is an actual table, sorry for the formatting problems:
