    Try this...

    =IFERROR(INDEX(A1:A14,MATCH(B1,A1:A14,0)+1),"")

    Re: next higher number row

    Ooops!

    I just noticed there were duplicate numbers.

    Data Range
    A
    B
    1
    3
    3.25
    2
    3.25
    3.5
    3
    3.25
    4
    3.5
    5
    4
    6
    4
    7
    4
    8
    4.25
    9
    4.25
    10
    4.5
    11
    4.75
    12
    4.75
    13
    4.75
    14
    5
    15
    ------
    ------


    Try this array formula**:

    =IFERROR(1/(1/MIN(IF(A1:A14>B1,A1:A14))),"")

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.
