Marcelo's solution to your previous post works. You don't need an array
formula. Here is an alternate solution (data is in A6:B12, date to
search for
is entered in C3):
=OFFSET(A6,MATCH(C3,A6:A12,1),1)
Hope this helps,

Sorry for the re-post, subject line was wrong.
In columns A & B, I have a list of dates and values, such as:
1/1/1998 12.7
3/10/1998 10.4
7/24/1998 14.6
8/3/1998 7.2
8/17/1998 42.4
12/10/1998 3.3
2/20/1999 12.7
Is there a formula that, upon entering a date, will look up the
value
corresponding to the next date in the list (if there's no exact
match)?
For example, if I enter 3/24/1998 in, say, cell D1, the formula
would
return 14.6. If I can't get the value, can I at least use INDEX to
get
the location of the next date?
=OFFSET(A6,MATCH(C3,A6:A12,1)-IF(ISERROR(MATCH(C3,A6:A12,0)),0,1),1)
This should adjust what Hutch quoted to allow for an exact match.
