As you guys can see we have created a data sheet in which 4 columns are product category, product size, product color and product price.

 INDEX & MATCH

Now suppose to find the price of a product from this sheet with multiple criteria then we have to make the criteria.

So this is the criteria and we will know the price of the product.

=INDEX(Table1[Product Price],MATCH(1,(G2=Table1[Product Category])*(G3=Table1[Product Size])*(G4=Table1[Product Color]),0))

In Excel-language, 1 means TRUE. 0 means FALSE.
