Finding Data in a cell by looking for 3 variables

[Guzzlr]

Hello all.
I have a little issue, that I would normally use VBA, but this time I would like to go formula driven.
Data Locations:

• Date is in L:8
• First Variable is in: L:7 = Finish
• Second Variable is in: J:8 = POP
• Third Variable is in: H:8 = ABC

I wish to lookup the date in L:8, in an entire sheet, using the 3 variables of "Finish", "POP", and "ABC"
So, the 3 Lookup values are ABC, POP, and Finish, to pull the date in L:8

I wanted to use maybe Vlookup, or IndexMatch, but I dont know how to use it with three different LookUp values. Or maybe a combination with the Find formula?

All the data I need, is in columns H:L.
Thanks for the help

Do you only ever want to get the date for ABC & POP?

Yes, I want to find the finish date by finding ABC and POP. ABC and POP should always be on the same row as the date, under the Header of Finish
Thanks for the help

In that case try
=INDEX(Y21:Y100,MATCH("ABC|POP",F21:F100&"|"&S21:S2500,0))

In that case try
=INDEX(Y21:Y100,MATCH("ABC|POP",F21:F100&"|"&S21:S2500,0))

=INDEX(Sheet2!Y21:Y100,MATCH(Sheet2!"ABC|POP",Sheet2!F21:F100&"|"&Sheet2!S21:S100,0))

Your formula is working, as long as I keep it on the same sheet.
My formula is not working when I use the formula on Sheet 1, searching for the Finished Date on Sheet 2.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you

You need to remove the part in red
=INDEX(Sheet2!Y21:Y100,MATCH(Sheet2!"ABC|POP",Sheet2!F21:F100&"|"&Sheet2!S21:S100,0))

Holy Cow...It Works!
Thank you very much
Question: What does the "|" tell excel to do?
Thanks

It's simply there to keep the data separate. Otherwise these would all be treated as the same.
AB CPOP
ABC POP
ABCP OP
