    lookup cells above or below a certain referenced number?

    If I have a column of unique numbers and want to reference a cell that appears above or below a referenced number, is this possible?

    A
    132
    11
    100
    90
    75
    60
    190


    I want to know what number appears 3 cells below 90? Is there a formula for that? Please advise. Thank you.

    Assuming your list is in Column A and your lookup value is in C1, in D1 enter =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$7,MATCH($C$1,$A$1:$A$7,0)+ROW()),"") and drag it down to D3

    if A2 through A8 have the numbers, B2 is the reference cell, then the value in the 3rd cell below the value referenced by B2 can be found using:

    C2: =IFERROR(INDEX(A2:A8,MATCH(B2,A2:A8,0)+3),"")
