return Approximate match decimal number

How return Approximate match decimal number?
My matrix below (A1:D1)
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 274"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 64, align: right"]38,50[/TD]
[TD="width: 82, align: right"]38,60[/TD]
[TD="width: 64, align: right"]39,00[/TD]
[TD="width: 64, align: right"]38,40[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
I fill cell --> I1 = 38,47
Result cell --> I2 ​= 38,50

Function approx(val As Range, rng As Range) As Variant

    Dim achk As Double


    achk = 100000


    For Each cell In rng
    
        Select Case Abs(cell - val.Value)
        Case Is < achk
            achk = cell - val.Value
            approx = cell.Value
        End Select
    Next


End Function

Here's a custom function with cell ranges as inputs.

Good, but by curiosity, is there way solution by formula-Excel?

I tried using HLOOKUP and for some reason it didn't return the expected result. It will return exact matches with :

=HLOOKUP(A2,A1:D1,1,0)

but changing that to

=HLOOKUP(A2,A1:D1,1,1)

didn't return what I expected.

=I1+MIN(ABS(I1-A1:D1))

Here's a bit of a hack...

Very nice, thank you!!

could try something like....

=INDEX(A1:D1,MATCH(I1,SMALL(A1:D1,{1,2,3,4})))
