Default match question

I am trying to match 3 columns of data and return a value in column 4 based
on the 3 responses.

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4

Ship New X
return a 6

Boat Old blank
returns a 4


I have a grid of responses for each scenerio in table A Rows 1-4
Almost like a vlookup but they have to meet three criteria to return the
value
and the table has every scenerio covered.

What is the best formula?

Default match question

If you are needing a value based on 3 criteria, then sumproduct is the
formula best suited:
=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A$100=criteria1),--($B$1:$B$100=criteria2),--($C$1:$C$100=criteria3),($D$1:$D$100))

modify ranges as needed.
