Sort your data in Descending order

=INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH(C2,A1:A7,-1))

Adjust to suit

Any help/advice much appreciated...


I have a numerical value produced as a result of an existing formula
and need to find the closest higher value from a predefined list.


Does anyone know how to perform this sort of lookup, with the match
from the pre-defined list as the output?


Thanks
Ben


This works perfectly. Many thanks.
