Try this
=IF(AND(OR(B1=E1,B1=F1,B1=G1),OR(C1=E1,C1=F1,C1=G1)),IF(OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1),"X",IF(AND(D1<>E1,D1<>F1,D1<>G1),Y,"NoMatch1")),IF(AND(OR(B1=E1,B1=F1,B1=G1),AND(C1<>E1,C1<>F1,C1<>G1)),IF(OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1),"Y",IF(AND(D1<>E1,D1<>F1,D1<>G1),Z,"NoMatch2")),IF(AND(AND(B1<>E1,B1<>F1,B1<>G1),OR(C1=E1,C1=F1,C1=G1)),IF(OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1),"Y",IF(AND(D1<>E1,D1<>F1,D1<>G1),Z,"NoMatch3")),IF(AND(AND(B1<>E1,B1<>F1,B1<>G1),AND(C1<>E1,C1<>F1,C1<>G1),OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1)),"Z","NoMatch4"))))
Thats pushing the envelope though. You might be better off with a custom defined function. Easy to maintain and easy of expand. My initial If statement was beyond xl limitation. In case you are curious what was that
=IF(AND(OR(B1=E1,B1=F1,B1=G1),OR(C1=E1,C1=F1,C1=G1),OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1)),"X",IF(AND(OR(B1=E1,B1=F1,B1=G1),OR(C1=E1,C1=F1,C1=G1),AND(D1<>E1,D1<>F1,D1<>G1)),"Y",IF(AND(OR(B1=E1,B1=F1,B1=G1),AND(C1<>E1,C1<>F1,C1<>G1),OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1)),"Y",IF(AND(AND(B1<>E1,B1<>F1,B1<>G1),OR(C1=E1,C1=F1,C1=G1),OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1)),"Y",IF(AND(OR(B1=E1,B1=F1,B1=G1),AND(C1<>E1,C1<>F1,C1<>G1),AND(D1<>E1,D1<>F1,D1<>G1)),"Z",IF(AND(AND(B1<>E1,B1<>F1,B1<>G1),AND(C1<>E1,C1<>F1,C1<>G1),OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1)),"Z",IF(AND(AND(B1<>E1,B1<>F1,B1<>G1),OR(C1=E1,C1=F1,C1=G1),AND(D1<>E1,D1<>F1,D1<>G1)),"Z","")))))))
=IF(AND(OR(B1=E1,B1=F1,B1=G1),OR(C1=E1,C1=F1,C1=G1)),IF(OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1),"X",IF(AND(D1<>E1,D1<>F1,D1<>G1),Y,"NoMatch1")),IF(AND(OR(B1=E1,B1=F1,B1=G1),AND(C1<>E1,C1<>F1,C1<>G1)),IF(OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1),"Y",IF(AND(D1<>E1,D1<>F1,D1<>G1),Z,"NoMatch2")),IF(AND(AND(B1<>E1,B1<>F1,B1<>G1),OR(C1=E1,C1=F1,C1=G1)),IF(OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1),"Y",IF(AND(D1<>E1,D1<>F1,D1<>G1),Z,"NoMatch3")),IF(AND(AND(B1<>E1,B1<>F1,B1<>G1),AND(C1<>E1,C1<>F1,C1<>G1),OR(D1=E1,D1=F1,D1=G1)),"Z","NoMatch4"))))

Sorry, there is one more thing. If any of the tests do not give results, the answer should be "0".

Change "NoMatch1" etc to 0
