Determine closest date in PowerQuery

Hi,

 

I have two sets of dates:

Approval date is when a paper is ready for submission to Team review.

 

Approval date

7/09/2024

6/12/2024

4/09/2024

 

 

Team meetings are every fortnight as below. 

Team Meeting dates

7/08/2024

21/08/2024

4/09/2024

18/09/2024

2/10/2024

16/10/2024

30/10/2024

13/11/2024

27/11/2024

27/11/2024

11/12/2024

 

Based on the Approval date, I would like to find a Team Meeting date that is the closest to approval date.

Approval date

Team Meeting date

7/09/2024

18/09/2024

6/12/2024

11/12/2024

4/09/2024

04/09/2024

 

I have tried to use the List.Min but it does not seem to work with Dates.

Appreciate any ideas!
