Search for categories between two tables

I have two tables. Table A contains the rent of houses. Table 2 shows the limit values for the rental classes. 

Now I want to add the rental classes to table 1.

So in my example, house 1 falls in Group 4 and house 2 falls in Group2

In Excel this is easily done with the match-function. 

How can I do this in Power BI?

 

AHouseRent
 1602
 2500
 3975
 4650
 5524

 

 

BGroupRentMax
 Group1400
 Group2500
 Group3600
 Group4700

 

Hope you can help me on this!

Thanks Greg!

 

With one little adjudgment it works perfectly:

Rent Group = VAR MaxRent = MINX(FILTER(RentGroups,RentGroups[RentMax]>=(Houses[Rent])),RentGroups[RentMax])
RETURN LOOKUPVALUE(RentGroups[Group],RentGroups[RentMax],MaxRent)

Rent Group = VAR MaxRent = MINX(FILTER(RentGroups,RentGroups[RentMax]>=MAX(Houses[Rent])),RentGroups[RentMax])
RETURN LOOKUPVALUE(RentGroups[Group],RentGroups[RentMax],MaxRent)

Nice job with posting the data and what you expect as a result.
