Lookup issue

I have an issue with my lookup values in excel. I have attached the sample excel also. I checked the format also but it is not working. can someone help.

You are trying to match numbers (the lookup values) with text (in the lookup arrays).

Try this:

=VLOOKUP(G2,--'S1'!$A$1:$G$3,6,0)

and this:

=XLOOKUP(H2,--'U1'!$B$2:$B$8,'U1'!$A$2:$A$8)

The -- coerces text to be read as a number. Formatting the cell as number does not change text into a number - it's a very common misconception.

Or, you could go the other way and convert the numeric lookup value to text:
