    You can use this formula. Then you don't need the helper column either. It is an array formula so you will need ctrl + shift + enter to compute.

    Where is it faulty?

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    or just
    =INDEX(Data!$D$2:$D$35,MATCH($A2&"-"&$B2&"-"&$C2,INDEX(Data!$A$2:$A$35&"-"&Data!$B$2:$B$35&"-"&Data!$C$2:$C$35,0),0))
    fyi
    the lookup doesn't work as it requires the array to be in ascending order
    also its often best when concatenating values together to make them distinct that's why i added &"-"
    else
    516 19 2
    51 619 2
    both come out to
    516192
