Combination and nearest value

Hi experts!

I have built few workflows earlier, but combination and nearest value match is something that I don't know much about it.

there are 2 different data sets like the below table: 

Data set 1Data set 2
Legal.Entity.IDBase.USD.AmountLegal Entity IDBase USD Amount
8304046642830-1724333
  830-8926592
  83010650925
  830-6604283
  830-2.7E+07
  8304370243
  830214050

i want to find out the combination of Base.USD.Amount in data set 1 from Base USD Amount from data set 2 (i have bold the numbers in data set 2 which sums up to the amount in data set 1) and get the combinations from data set 2 as output.

 

secondly, after doing the above condition i also want to check  (for the rest of the data from data set 2) the nearest value. example shown in below table.

Data set 1Data set 2
Legal.Entity.IDBase.USD.AmountLegal Entity IDBase USD Amount
8304046642830-1724333
  830-8926592
  8304046641.5
  830-6604283
  830-26706162
  8304370243
  830214050

i have bold the nearest value in data set 2 and that would be my 2nd output 

 

 

Please assist if anybody knows how to do it.

 

Thanks,

Tanushree
