Formula in Excel Spreadsheet not work

The use of an approximate match in VLOOKUP requires the lookup range to be sorted in ascending order. Yours is not and the CF formula will never give the correct answer. And when you think it does, that's just a coincidence.

The value of 50 seems to your breaking point and you want to return the next lowest value. Correct? That would be 22, while your VLOOKUP returns 20. This is due to the fact that VLOOKUP performs a so-called binary search.
