Find a value in a table greater than the one I am searching

I am taking a value from one cell and using Vlookup trying to find a value in a table which is greater than it. Vlookup always defaults to a lower value than the one I want!

Is there an IF function to attach to the Vlookup code to get the next value along, or is there a different approach that anyone can suggest?
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
You could use...

=OFFSET($B$1,MATCH(A1,$B$1:$B$6,0),1)

...where your lookup table consists of 2 columns beginning in cell B1. Suppose your table contained...

{1,"A"
;2,"B"
;3,"C"
;4,"D"
;5,"E"
;6,"F"}

...and cell A1 contained 2. This formula would return "C".

But zero as the Match_Type argument for match means find and exact match, so if the number doesn't exist you get the dreaded N/A
