PLEASE HELP

Need an equation in D1 to find the number immediately greater then number in
col C, then copy the number beside from col B to D.

For example:
for 500 in col C, immediate greater number in col A is 569.3 and the number
beside in col B is 79, then the equation in D1 should give 79. (Column B has
numbers that sometime increasing sometime decreasing)

A B C D
71.162 100 500
142.325 98 100
213.487 95 200
284.65 90 300
355.813 88 400
426.975 85 500
498.138 81 600
569.3 79 700
640.462 76 800


=INDEX($B$2:$B$10,MATCH(C2,$A$2:$A$10,1)+1)

Of course, since the highest number in column A is 640.462, there will be no
matches for numbers 700 and 800 in Column C.

As written, the formula will return an error.

What do you want to do if there is no higher number?
