I need help with LOOKUP

I need to find the closest match to the lookup_value. LOOKUP returns the
nearest match less than the lookup_value but this may not always be the
closest match. e.g. My lookup_value is 80, the column it is searching has
the following 55;68;81;86, LOOKUP will return results from the row which
contains 68. Obviously 81 is closer, can anyone suggest a way around this?
