Hi Marc,
I think you fooled yourself, your example is correct and working:
cdtable = {{1.941,1.149, 0.911, 0.725, 0.678, 0.74}, {2.094, 1.098,
0.911, 0.516, 0.305,0.18}};
cd[x_] := cdtable[[If[x < 1000., 1, 2], i]];
i = 3; cd[999]
returns 0.911
P.O. It would help if you put a bit more effort into your writing.
sincerely, Daniel
