Lookup in Excel

I'm trying to create a lookup to find the optimal size to use in the attached file. In column A I have my finish sizes. In column H I have the starting sizes. What I need to do is find the next largest size from Column H that is greater than .0050 from the finish size in column A and put that size in column B. How can I do this?

Can you sort H2:H17, they are mostly sorted I think but H17 is out of order. If you sort that range then you can use this formula in B2 copied down

=IFERROR(IF(A2+0.00499<H$2,H$2,INDEX(H$2:H$17,MATCH(A2+0.00499,H$2:H$17)+1)),"No larger size")

...or a shorter array formula to do the same

=IFERROR(SMALL(IF(H$2:H$17>=A2+0.005,H$2:H$17),1),"No larger size")

confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

regards, barry

Hi Barry,

I tried your formula but it's always pulling .2580 as the diameter as the size to use.
