I have a database sheet contain info regarding some paratemetrs. I also have a selection criteria table to get a "result value" based on parameter values. I want to make a lookup formula in the database sheet that goes through a series of criteria and gets the "result value" accordingly.
I tried to make a function using index-match and countif, but it couldn't get anywhere. Can somebody offer any advice?

The Database looks like this:

Code:
[TABLE="width: 320"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: xl65, width: 64"]Type[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65, width: 64"]Diameter[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65, width: 64"]Elevation[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65, width: 64"]Length[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65, width: 64"]Expected Result  from function[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: xl66"]Type A[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, align: right"]10[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, align: right"]3[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, align: right"]6[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67"]Result 6[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: xl66"]Type B[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, align: right"]20[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, align: right"]-5[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, align: right"]10[/TD]
[TD="class: xl68"]Result 7[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: xl66"]Type A[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, align: right"]10[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, align: right"]1[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, align: right"]1.5[/TD]
[TD="class: xl68"]Result 1[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


The criteria/grade assigning table looks like this

Code:
 [TABLE="width: 505"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Type[/TD]
[TD]Diameter[/TD]
[TD]Elevation Min[/TD]
[TD]Elevation Max[/TD]
[TD]Length min[/TD]
