    Lookup multiple data points to find info in a single cell

    I need to lookup data in a report and pull it into an excel document so that I can better manipulate the info. I need to find data at an intersection based on info in two columns and a single row. I have attached a sample of what I am trying to accomplish. I need to pull data from the report tab based on data in the Location and Act Desc columns based on the date in row 2 and populate the info in the Lookup tab accordingly.

    I believe that I will need to use a combination of formulas, but I am unclear how to nest or even go about this solution. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Try:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Report!$D$3:$G$10,MATCH(1,INDEX((Report!$A$3:$A$10=$A2)*(Report!$C$3:$C$10=C$1),0),0) ,MATCH($B2,Report!$D$2:$G$2,0)),"")
