Hi, I can review the workbook, trace the current lookup/reference chain, and replace fragile formulas with the most appropriate table-based XLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH approach while preserving the intended results. I will first make a backup, map the source and lookup columns, fix errors such as #N/A, #REF!, mismatched ranges, and incorrect exact/approximate matches, then test representative rows and edge cases. I will also compare calculation behavior before and after the changes and leave the formulas transparent with short notes. One detail before I begin: which Excel version must the workbook support - Microsoft 365 with XLOOKUP, or an older version requiring INDEX/MATCH?
