Default Match Formula for three fields to produce result

Using cells to hold the lookup criteria...

A1 = some ID number
B1 = some document type
C1 = some date

Then, array entered** :

=INDEX(Comments,MATCH(1,IF(ID=A1,IF(Document=B1,IF (DATE=C1,1))),0))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

Can someone help with a match formula that will match ID#, Document, and
Date (needs to match all three) and generate the text listed the comments
column. Thank you in advance!
