    Use

     

    =INDEX(C2:C124,MATCH(J10,A2:A124))

     

    or

     

    =VLOOKUP(J10, A2:C124, 3)

     

    1) We look at the lower bound of each tier instead of the upper bound, i.e. column A instead of column B.

    2) The range in column C must have the same size as the range in column A.

    3) Removing 0 as third argument of MATCH allows for an approximate match instead of an exact match.
