Nearest Value of Selected Measure

I have a requirement where I will select a number from slicer and from data-set I need to look out a specific column based on slicer selected. If selected value is exactly matching with lookup value, display that, else get nearest value from data-set column and display it. For example,

I have a data-set with column as below

And have a slicer as below.

Selected_Value.PNG

I selected 45 from slicer and based on value at Qty column, I need two values from Qty, i.e 43 lower limit & 52 Upper Limit. If slicer value matches exactly with Qty then just return that value from both Upper & Lower limit.

 

How can I we try this in Power BI?

 

Thanks in Advance..

Rajesh

@hegde86 try following measure

 

Nearest Value Lower = 
VAR __selectedSlicerValue = SELECTEDVALUE( SlicerTable[Column] )
RETURN
CALCULATE(
MAX( YourTable[Qty] ), YourTable[Qty] <= __selectedSlicerValue
)

Nearest Value Upper = 
VAR __selectedSlicerValue = SELECTEDVALUE( SlicerTable[Column] )
RETURN
CALCULATE(
MIN( YourTable[Qty] ), YourTable[Qty] >= __selectedSlicerValue
)
