Default Return value greater than in LOOKUP

return the next value greater than the lookup value

Do you really mean greater than or equal to?

Try this for **greater than** :

=INDEX(M10:M150,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(M10:M15025.4,0), 0))

Note that if there isn't a value greater than the lookup value you'll get an
error.

I am trying to use the lookup function to return the next value greater
than
the lookup value in a vector. However, the only thing that the lookup
function will do is return the next value that is less than or equal to.
Is
there a way to get it to return the value greater than.

I am using: LOOKUP(25.4,M10:M150,M10:M150)

...and want to return the first value greater than 25.4 in the vector
M10:M150
