Match/Index referencing incorrect row
Thank you, that is very helpful.
The Lift score in S66 has formula =F68.
Cell F68 contains the value 90, but it is formatted as Text. So the XLOOKUP formula in S68 does not look for the number 90 but for the text value "90". This causes the error.
If you format F68 as General or as Number, then press F2 and Enter to force Excel to reevaluate the cell, the formula in S68 will return 46 and that in S69 will return 10.
Could you attach a small sample workbook demonstrating the problem (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar?

The tab labeled "Schmidt" is where the data is being calculated. The cell highlighted yellow are the cells that still need attention. The other tabs are data reference where the formula looks to pull the data from.
