Welcome.

Use:

Code:=MATCH(valuetolookup,A1:A25,TYPE)


About Match TYPE:

use 0 type for exact

use 1 for largest value that is less than or equal to the value

use -1 to match the smallest value that is less than or equal to the value defined.

An example formula is:

Code:=MATCH(10,A1:A25,0)


That will search A1 through A25 for the exact value of 10.
