Default Boolean comparison: range vs. single cell


This is driving me crazy....I am trying to debug and understand some
cell computations using Excel 2003...but all it does it return an
#VALUE error:
=IF($A$2:$A$26<=H$1,1,0)

But the following WORKS and produces the correct result:
= 100 * SUM(IF(($A$2:$A$26<=G$1) *( $B$2:$B$26 <=
$F2),$C$2:$C$26,0))/$C$27

WHY ? key issue he how to properly compare a vector to a single
cell.

My take on this: $A$2:$A$26<=G$1
Each cell in Column A from 2-26 is being compared to G1.
If ANY ONE OF THEM is less than G1, then the result is "True"....
correct ?

Is there a better, MORE APPROPRIATE way to do this ?
