Excel: Value from one cell based on max value with multiple criteria in other column - excel

Question

I am trying to get value in column 8, based on MAX value (column Range4) with multiple criteria (Range1, Range2, Range3), but excel gives me an error "#N/A". Where is the mistake?
VLOOKUP(MAX(IF(Range1=2013;IF(Range2="april";IF(Range3="Alexa";Range4))));Range5;8;FALSE)
The part
{MAX(IF(Range1=2013;IF(Range2="april";IF(Range3="Alexa";Range4))))}
works right alone (it gives me the right value), but not inside the VLOOKUP function.
Thanks!
Sample data set for testing:
First_day Last_day Week_Num Week_Range Month Year Rank_name Rank_value
01/04/2013 07/04/2013 14 1-7 april april 2013 Alexa 10122
08/04/2013 14/04/2013 15 8-14 april april 2013 Alexa 9670

Equivalence between ranges and columns:
Range1 = Column "Year"
Range2 = Column "Month"
Range3 = Column "Rank_name"
Range4 = Column "Week_Num"
Range5 = Column "Rank_value"

Answer 1

Please try:
=INDEX(Range8;MATCH(MAX(IF(Range1=2013;IF(Range2="april";IF(Range3="Alexa";Range4))));Range4;0))
with Control+Shift+Enter.

Answer 2

The problem with the existing formula (from pnuts, Jun 10 2014) is this:
The formula first narrows the list down by the nested if's, and then picks the maximum Week_Num from those rows that match your criteria. But having located that maximum, the MATCH function then ignores the criteria (they were only used to find the max from Range4). If you have other rows (even though they don't match the criteria) that have the same Week_Num, MATCH will locate the first row out of the whole list that has the same Week_Num in Range4. One solution is to add the same criteria to the MATCH's "lookup_array" that were used in the "lookup_value".
=INDEX(Range8;MATCH(MAX(IF(Range1=2013;IF(Range2="april";IF(Range3="Alexa";Range4))));IF(Range1=2013;IF(Range2="april";IF(Range3="Alexa";Range4)));0))
Again, using Control-Shift-Enter.
I think I entered the above formula correctly, but I didn't build a sheet to test it, so...
Also, be aware, this formula still has a problem in the case where no rows in the list meet the criteria. In that case you get an error. The solution to that is to add an IFERROR at the front of the whole thing.
=IFERROR(INDEX(Range8;MATCH(MAX(IF(Range1=2013;IF(Range2="april";IF(Range3="Alexa";Range4))));IF(Range1=2013;IF(Range2="april";IF(Range3="Alexa";Range4)));0)),"")
