    what formula to use to find data from range of cells and place into another with criteria

    I need to find data based upon criteria and return actual text from those cells and placed into another location.

    H8 of this worksheet shows that I was able to get close to the results I'm looking for, but in cell G8, I need for it to retrieve the cell context from column A, for which the formula found the context in cell H8. The criteria is anything in column A higher than 72.

    I'm lost at how to come up with this complete formula. Help is very much needed and appreciated.

    I've attached the file I'm working with.

    Well, your formula returned a temp of 70.64, but since I don't understand this formula at all, I don't understand where exactly this number is being calculated or which cell it's being retrieved from??? The corresponding temp reading for the content in cell H8 is 77.38. But I need this information to automatically input rather than looking it up manually.
