Default How to use lookup to retrieve next LARGEST value?

Using 'lookup' or 'vlookup' I can determine an exact match value or the next
SMALLEST value, but not the next LARGEST value. How to I return the next
largest value?

ex.

I want to find the value of "2.2" or the next greater value in a table and
my table looks like this:

1
1.5
2
2.5
3

The answer I'm looking for would be "2.5" but lookup returns "2".

Thanks.

Jim
