I am trying to build a formula where I can have one input cell and have the
formula look up that value in a table and provide a corresponding value.
Example: Someone is going to buy 30 widgets and there are discounted rates
depending on the number of widgets purchased. I want to be able to put in 30
and have the formula look up that number and give me the corresponding rate.

Vlookup. See:

=vlookup(num_widgtes,lookup_table,2,false)

where the lookup table is structured as number in one columna, rate in the
second.
