I'm trying to index a column and match with multiple criteria if a1=yes and index
the same column with different criteria if a1=no. Here's a rough example of what
I've tried

{=IF(A1="yes",INDEX(D10:D20,MATCH(Y1&Y2&Y3,A10:A20&B10:B20&C10:C20),
IF(A1="no",INDEX(D10:D20,MATCH(Z1&Z2&Z3,A10:A20&B10:B20&C10:C20),"")}

It works up until the second IF so I think the problem is probably the closing off part, I'm pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER but it doesn't work. It could also be the middle part where I'm closing off the first IF and opening the second, any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
I think you're just missing some parenthesis. Try this:

{=IF(A1="yes",INDEX(D$10:D$20,MATCH(Y1&Y2&Y3,A$10:A$20&B$10:B$20&C$10:C$20)),IF(A1="no",INDEX(D$10:D$20,MATCH(Z1&Z2&Z3,A$10:A$20&B$10:B$20&C$10:C$20)),""))}

I also made the rows of your arrays absolute assuming that you will be dragging this formula down a column.
