Lookup based on Multiple Criteria - Without a Helper Column

The following formulas return a value from D2:D10, where the corresponding value in B2:B10 equals the value in F2, and the corresponding value in C2:C10 equals the value in G2...

=INDEX(D2:D10,MATCH(1,IF(B2:B10=F2,IF(C2:C10=G2,1)),0))

or

=INDEX(D2:D10,MATCH(F2&"#"&G2,B2:B10&"#"&C2:C10,0))

Note that these are array formulas, which need to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER for the PC or COMMAND+RETURN for the Mac.

Based on the sample data, the formulas return 20.  Sample Workbook
