Try...

=INDEX(A1:A5,MATCH(MIN(ABS(A1:A5-2)),ABS(A1:A5-2),0))

...confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER.

Hope this helps!

The lookup functions in Excel only look for values equal to the
specified value or the largest value below the specified value. I want
my function to find the value as close as possible to the specified
value.

Example: 1.6 ; 1.7; 1.9 ; 2.05 ; 2.1
Lookup functions for finding the value 2 will return 1.9 instead of
2.05.
