You can index match with as many criteria as you want by making it an array formula

Concatenate the desired cells to make a unique key, then index match based off that key.

I use sumproduct; I forget which use case I had where concatenate didn't work, maybe it was an or need, but sumproduct is best practice regardless.

How would that look? Let’s say the index data is A1:Z100, would it be index(A1:Z100),Match Criteria 1, Match Criteria 2, Match Criteria 3?

You can add additional criteria with an asterisk, so (criteria 1)*(criteria 2)*(criteria 3) and make sure to ctrl+shft+enter to use an array

Obvs index match match. Depending on how dynamic you need it to be, you could just filter a pivot table

Pretty sure you can index match with multiple criteria

Can’t index match more than 2 criteria. Also, can only have 1 criteria for column and 1 for row

Use of arrays like “AND” can be a help if concatenation is not a preference.

Alteryx makes multi joins really easy, not that it’s an excel fix

Use an Arry function

The equivalent of this is in SQL, you can use the apostrophe in the beginning of and end of a text. That text will not affect the function of the query, but that text can be seen if you proofread the query.
