Thanks everyone!

Assuming that A2:B8 contains the data, try...
=INDEX(B2:B8,MATCH(D2,A2:A8)+(LOOKUP(D2,A2:A8)<D2 ))
To return 12.7 for dates earlier than 1/1/98, try the following formula
instead...
=IF(D2<"",IF(D2A2,INDEX(B2:B8,MATCH(D2,A2:A8)+(L OOKUP(D2,A2:A8)<D2)),B
2),"")
Hope this helps!

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.
