reference two tables with multiple criteria; get correct output

Hi, I have two tables with multiple criteria that I use index and match to pull the right output. See attached. What I cant' figure out is how to pull the right cell when the units on my table are not individual numbers but groups IE if the user enters 25 in C4 the attached example should know to return C9 in for the output.

My knowledge is limited but I think I need to make some kind of giant nested if statement and build it into my output formula, but that's making my eyes bleed.

Please see the attached and you'll quickly understand my issue. If you type "Up to 75" in C4 you will see the output 1. If you type 25 it doesn't know what to do.

Maybe there is a different way to format my tables that would be better. I'm open to anything.

Thanks

How about now?

Please see your first post. I changed it for you. That should do it.

Is having 'stacked' tables as in your attachment a requirement?

I modified your layout in the attached.

The formula you were using was attempting to match numbers to text "numbers" in column B. lookup_value and lookup_array of MATCH need to be the same data types. Those across both columns A and B. They present both lower and upper limits as numbers that C4 is to fit between.

That said I modified your formula in C6 to work with that.
