You could also use Rules and do something like this:
Step: Set Flag
Always...F("Time")= ERT ...Go to Step Check Flag 'what ever is tracking
the time
Step: Check Flag
F("time") >=26 and F("Time") >75 is false...go to Step
F("Time") >=76 and F("time") >121 is false...Go to Step
F("time") >=121...Go to Step
(since Thom opened my eyes to Flags, I've been using them like candy.)

Subject: Re: [Talk] greater and less than
The way it is written you will get only one code. Plus you could get none
if the time is20, 75, 120 or 150. If you want only one code then you need
to use "greater than or equal" "less than or equal" like this:
if (time >= 20) and (time <= 75) then code = 99289 if (time >= 76) and
(time =<120) then code = 99290 if (time >= 121) and (time <= 150) then code
= 99291
If you want multiple codes for values over 75 then this
if time >= 20 then code = 99289
if time >= 76 then code = 99290
if (time >= 121) and (time <= 150) then code = 99291
