Default Looking for the correct excel formula

I have a spreadsheet with the following values. Column A is the item number
and column B is the qty.

TAB1
A B
1 Item Number Qty
2 500cc 0
3 1500cc 100
4 1500sp 0
5 3000cc 100
6 16000cc 100

These figures are pulled out of the database when you enter the purchase
order. On another tab of the spreadsheet is the packing list. I need a
formula that will reference the previous worksheet and ignore the 0 values.
So I need the packing list to look like this:

TAB2
A B
1 Item Number Qty
2 1500cc 100
3 3000cc 100
4 16000cc 100
5
6

Now I have been using the following formula in cell A2 that reads:

=if(tab1!B20,tab1!A2,if(tab1!B30,tab1!A3,if(tab1 B40,tab1!A4,if(tab1!B50,tab1!A5,if(tab1!B60,tab 1!A6,"")

Now this formula works great for cell A2 on tab 2. The problem arises for
cell A3. If I do the same formula as above, I come up with the same answer as
cell A2. I need to have the same formula AND somehow exclude the result from
cell A2.

In cell A4, I need to have the same formula and exclude the result from cell
A2 and A3.

And so on and so forth.

Anybody have any ideas how I could do this?
