I am using a formula of:
=INDEX(QUERY($I$19:$I$30,"select I where I >= " & rounddown(D$27,2) & " order by I limit 1",0),1)In D27 I have a value of: 0.8190
In I19:I30 I have a series of values:0.7400, 0.7500, 0.7800, 0.8000, 0.8200, 0.8400, 0.8700, 0.9000, 0.9300, 0.9500, 0.9800, 1.0000
I am trying to select the row in I that is closest, but not greater than.
Expected outcome would be: 0.8000 since rounddown(0.8190,2) is 0.81, which is less than 0.8200, but greater than 0.8000.
However, it keeps returning 0.8200.
I've tried a bunch of numbers in D27, and it keeps acting like the >= evaluation is rounding up. Is there a logic/syntax issue in my formula, or is this some quirk in evaluation on Google Sheets?

----- [UPDATE] -----
I indeed put the logic backwards based on false-near-postive, as well as an unclear goal in original post. The correct formula is:
=QUERY($I$19:$I$30,"select I where I <= " & (C$27) & " order by I DESC limit 1",0)
