Help setting a rule

[jeebs83]

I'd like to build a formula where I set a threshold (in this case, 62%) on a set of numbers. If a number in the set meets or exceeds 62%, the next highest number would qualify, with the rest of the numbers not.

Example:
21
42
60
74
85
94
97
100

In the field next to each number, if the number is less than or equal to 62, OR is the 1st number to exceed 62, it copies over. Once a number meets or exceeds 62, the next highest number would copy over, with the rest of the fields remaining blank.

By default, the first two numbers will always copy over, so just use cellB1=A1 and cellB2=A2. After that I used =IF(A3<62,A3,IF(OR(A2<62,AND(A2>62,A1<62)),A3,"")) and copied it down.

Perhaps something like this? It requires the list to be sorted ascending:

In practice, the numbers are not sorted, and I cannot sort them in a table or else it will screw up the sheet.

This is the order of the numbers:
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 45pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=60><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 45pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2194" width=60><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 14.25pt" height=19><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 45pt; HEIGHT: 14.25pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl65 height=19 width=60 align=right>21%</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl65 height=17 align=right>94%</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 13.5pt" height=18><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 13.5pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl65 height=18 align=right>100%</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl65 height=17 align=right>85%</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl65 height=17 align=right>74%</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl65 height=17 align=right>42%</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl65 height=17 align=right>97%</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl65 height=17 align=right>60%</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Maybe TRUE/FALSE statements could help?
