Getting a value from dynamic date

I'm hoping somebody can help. I have seen a lot of people trying to do something similar but every solution i have tried doesn't seem to work for me. 

 

What I am trying to achieve:

I have a table which contains a list of capcity data for some vmware datastores. The data currently gets added in roughly every 5 minutes or so. 

For each datastore name I would like to add a calculated column which finds the "Used" amount which is closes to the date shown in the "7days" column. If i can do this without the requirement for the 7days column then that would be ideal. 

 

Example data:

This goes on for many days worth of data. I haven't included it all because the example would be huge. 

 

Example desired output:
For this example lets assume that 7 days ago we had 7Gb used and then at -7days at 07/04/2019 17:40:06 we had only 6 GB used.

@Anonymous ,

 

You may try using RANKX.

Hi, 

 

Thanks for the reply. I tried to adapt the example you showed to my data, it seemed to crash my machine, i'm guessing due to the amount of data I have in there and the fact it is trying to run this on every row. 

 

Code i tried is:

Column =
IF (
     RANKX (
          FILTER ( Tbldatastore, Tbldatastore[DateTime] < EARLIER ( Tbldatastore[7days] )
          && Tbldatastore[name] = EARLIER (Tbldatastore[Name]) ),
     Tbldatastore[Index],
      ,
      ASC
      )
= 1,
Tbldatastore[Used],
0
)
