PowerBI IF value IN TOPN values then TRUE

I'm sure I'm missing something simple here. But I'm having no luck.



What I'd like to do is to create a new TRUE/FALSE column based upon a value within a column being in the top 2 results of the same column.



This snippet currently works for the "Max Value"



isCurrent =
IF (
'Program'[MajorVersion] = MAXX ( 'Program', 'Program'[MajorVersion] ),
TRUE (),
FALSE ()
)


What I'd prefer working is not just the MAXX value but the top 2 values within that column. So I am using the TOPN function below. Unfortunately, this is not working.



isCurrent =
IF (
'Program'[MajorVersion]
IN TOPN (
2,
FILTER ( 'Program', 'Program'[MajorVersion] ),
'Program'[MajorVersion], DESC
),
TRUE (),
FALSE ()
)


Table example:



ID  MajorVersion
1 18.4
2 18.4
3 18.5
4 18.2
5 18.6
6 18.6
7 18.4
8 18.4
9 18.6
10 18.6


Desired Result: (Since the top 2 values within MajorVersion would be 18.5 & 18.6)



ID  MajorVersion  isCurrent
1 18.4 FALSE
2 18.4 FALSE
3 18.5 TRUE
4 18.2 FALSE
5 18.6 TRUE
6 18.6 TRUE
7 18.4 FALSE
8 18.4 FALSE
9 18.6 TRUE
10 18.6 TRUE

          Program[MajorVersion],
          DESC
          )


          This already returns True or False without needing the IF.
