Determining Status by Percentage

I'm trying to determine a risk status based on a percentage. If 59% or less, High Risk. If 60-79%, Off Track. If 80% or higher, On Track.

My formula is =IF(Percentage1 > 80, "On Track", IF(Percentage1 >= 60, "Off Track", "High Risk")), which is coming up as High Risk and it should be Off Track. I tried putting this through the formula generating and it gave me the same formula. Why is it not coming up as Off Track?

    I believe you might need to use percentages for your numbers as well. For example:

    =IF(Percentage@row > 0.8, "On Track", IF(Percentage@row >= 0.6, "Off Track","High Risk"))
