Issue with referencing the correct cell In excel within a formula

Im working on a file at work. I have 2 tabs in an excel file. Tab 1 contains an imported XML file. Tab 2 contains some excel formulas that looks at data from Tab 1 to bring into Tab 2. However, whenever I refresh the imported XML file in tab 1, and refresh the formulas in Tab 2 it keeps changing and jumps to reference the next blank cell. For example, In cell A1 in tab 2, I have a formula to pull in data from col $H2 from tab 1 instead it changes to reference col $H3105 when I refreshed the imported xml file from tab 1 and formulas from tab 2. So I checked the data set in tab 1 and the data ends at row 3104. How can I resolve this issue so my formulas reference the start of the data set in tab 1? Could this be because excel doesn’t recognize the imported xml file as a different format?

      Thank you, since it a work file on my work machine I won’t be able to provide it.

      Will you be able to give me instructions on how I can possibly resolve this?

      Thanks again.
