Binning w/o entering?

Is there a way to obtain the bin a value (‘x’) would go in if I did put in a particular histogram. Seems to be I used to do it, but can’t remember how and don’t see an obvious command in TH1.h or TH1F.h.

I want to use it to reject events for which the variable is in a highly spikey back ground bin and it seems like an easy way to do it is to look at the background histogram for whether or not x lands in a high background bin. The background is highly spikey – detector cracks – so I can’t just use some broad cuts. I need a look up table. I could I guess compute it ‘by hand’ from the binsizes and boundaries of the histogram, but I’d rather use the machinery that’s already there, if possible.
