Formulae for XP awards for CR21+ and non-epic characters?

I hit a small problem in the game session last night: my 17th level PCs defeated a number of CR23 opponents. Now, the XP table in the DMG gives XP awards for characters up to level 20, but only for creatures up to CR20. The corresponding table in the EHL starts at character level 21.

That being the case, I was wondering if there is a formula for calculating the appropriate XP awards? (If it's in the DMG, I apologise. I looked, but didn't see it.)

In the event, it didn't really matter - it was the end of the campaign, so I just grabbed a likely value and ran with it. Nonetheless, I'd prefer a 'correct' answer for future reference.

It´s quite easy. +2 CR = x2 experience.

For the CR 23 foes, look at the experience a character gets for beating a CR 19 enemy, then multiply by 4
 



Thanks to all who responded. 'Someone' is, of course, quite right - and there's a note directly under the DMG table explaining that. Guess I just missed my Spot check!
