Substitue for LOOKUP function
I have a spreadsheet in EXCEL that has the following formula:
=IF(K2="","",K2-LOOKUP(K2,{0,700,1000,1200,1500,1700,2000,2300,2600,3600},{50,75,100,150,175,200,225,300,350}))
I use this to subtract certain dollar amounts if K2 is equal to the first parentheses. Since the LOOKUP function does not work how would I do this in google spreadsheet?
I want K2 to subtract 50 for anything 700 or less, and 75 for anything 1000 or less, and so on and so forth.
Thanks

following is a solution to the problem -- I have also provided a formula that will work both in Google spreadsheet as well as in Excel
