Default find nearest help

Hi there
I have a long list of calculations of which i need to find the nearest match.
I can find the nearest elow with VLOOKUP but not the closest.
Have tried.=INDEX(list,MATCH(MIN(ABS(list-target)),(ABS(list-target)),0))
but this returns a #N/A error.
The nature of the spreadsheet means there can be more than one same answer. I only need to return one of these.
Waht is the easiest way to do this???
cheers
nobby
