    Finding the closest match from 3 corresponding lists

    Hi Guys,

    First time posting here! I have been struggling with this for a while now trying to work it out on my own, but to no avail, so I am hoping someone here can help!

    I work for a packaging company, and we sell hundreds of different boxes in different sizes and shapes. On a daily basis, we receive requests from customers giving there required box dimensions, and we have to go through all the products, checking the dimensions, to find the closest match.

    I was hoping to create a spreadsheet whereby I can insert the customers required Height in one cell, required Depth in the next cell and required Length in the next cell, and it will perform a search which would bring back the product code with the closest corresponding dimensions. The formula would need to take in to account all 3 criteria.

    I have tried using MAX(IF(, but I cannot get it to work across multiple criteria - I am pulling my hair out aha!

    I have attached a small example of what I need - Column A is the product code, Column B is the Length, Column C is the With, Column D is the Height - These would be the raw data that would be hidden.

    Cell H2 is where myself or a colleague would input the customers required Length, I2 is for the customers required Width and J2 is for the customers required Height. L2 is where I would like the resulting product code to be (where I assume I would input the formula)

    If anyone can help that would be AMAZING!

    Thank you,

    Simon
