I have a specific number X in a cell and in the column beside I have a list of data that ranges from smalles to largest. I need to find a number in that column the is = or than X. the number should be the closest number to X but greater.

Any ideas?

The number to find is in A1, rng is the list:

=INDEX(rng,IF(MATCH(A1,rng)=MATCH(A1,rng,0),MATCH( A1,rng),MATCH(A1,rng)+1))

Hi,

The only problem with this is that if the closest number to A1 is greater than 1+A1 than I get an error.

I don't understand what error occours.
That formula get the number x (the number in A1) if it exists in rng.
If it does not exist, formula get the number immediately greater then x
present in rng.
