Default modified vlookup help

See if this helps...

A1 = some number like 55

Lookup table in the range E1:G4

...E.....F.....G
...0....25....21
26...50.....35
51...75.....40
76............52

=VLOOKUP(A1,E1:G4,3)

Result = 40. 55 falls within the range 51 - 75 and returns the result from
column G.

I don't know if this will be a vlookup or something similar but here's what
I
need:

-user enters a number that could range anywhere from 0 to 22667.27
-formula should match whatever number the user entered against an
applicable
range and then return a different number
-For example a user enters 2931.15
-Formula should return a value of "125" since the user defined number
falls
between 2930.92 and 2954.54
-Formula should return a value of "126" if user enters 2970.12 because
that
value falls between 2954.55 and 2978.18

I have a list of hundreds of different ranges like this going from 0 all
the
way to 22667.27.

Please help! Thanks.
