Setting retrieved data

With the generous help of someone on this forum (thanks again!), I was able to retrieve some data that had been messed up on my Excel sheet. We used a VLOOKUP function to sync two columns of data that had become unsynced. The reference data was on a separate sheet. Now that my information is straight again, I would like to clean up the book and delete the helper columns and reference sheets that were used for the sorting. When I save the book and delete the unneeded sheet, I get a #REF error for all my corrected data. I understand why this is happening as that original referenced data is now deleted.

 

Is there a way, without redoing the VLOOKUP function, to embed or set the corrected data so that I can separate it from the function and reference data?

    I think the instructions were to use Copy and Paste Special .... Values, putting the correct emails themselves, not the VLOOKUP formulas, into the column where they belong.

        can you remove confidential data and share just some sample?
        it is difficult to provide solution just based on info you have provided.
