INDEX & MATCH with multiple Criteria

Question

I have been trying to figure it out for what I was doing wrong

Here the explanation for what I am currently doing :

1. It is a game that customer need to guess for 4 condition ( outfit,brand,color,price )
2. I have to match between 2 worksheets which is customer's guessing and list (which is criteria)
3. it going to show only 2 result ( bingo,try again like in yellow column)
4. the criteria is guessing for outfit,brand,color need to be exactly correct (as shown in list-worksheet)
5. for price it can be the other values but not less/more than 5

=IF(ABS(INDEX(list!D:D,MATCH(A2,list!A:A,0),MATCH(B2,list!B:B,0),MATCH(C2,list!C:C,0))-D2)<=5,"bingo",IF(ABS(INDEX(list!F:F,MATCH(A2,list!A:A,0),MATCH(B2,list!B:B,0),MATCH(C2,list!E:E,0))-D2)<=5,"bingo","try again"))

• the above is formula that I use but it turned out error
• if doing correctly the result would be like in yellow column
• Note column and orange highlights does not involve it's just optional explanation for your understanding

Answer 1

So the main reason you're running into issues is because your list worksheet is setup terribly. Excel runs best with a flat-file type data structure. It should be reformatted to this:

Then you can setup your guessing game and use a simple SUMIFS formula:

In cell E2 of the guessing game worksheet, the formula is:

=IF(ABS(D2-SUMIFS(list!D:D,list!A:A,A2,list!B:B,B2,list!C:C,C2))<5,"Bingo!","Try again")
