Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
no I want to match f3, g3, h3, i3 then in j3 I want either standard or preferred

What if F2, G2 and H2 are as in your example, and I2 is something other than 132 or 152?

What if F2 = "M"?

yes there will be more columns and M but I just wanted to see how I would go about to match the 4 sets of data to get the desired match of preferred in this case

This might work -

1. In column E, if you concatenate the data values from columns A&B&C&D for all the records;

2. Use the same logic on column J. This should provide you with a lookup key that is unique within the data set.

I don't believe I like to do that. If I am understanding you correctly use a value in in column E so it has a unique identifier?

Yes. That is the idea. To create a unique identifier that will enable the lookup to function.

how do I merge cells like A22=6 B22=0 C22=132 and C2=F to create a unique identifier like 60132F
