In regard to "#N/A"
-------------------
Your spreadsheet has several problems:

(A) You use the legacy xls-format. The native format in LibreOffice is the
ods-format. All other formats might have converting problems.

(B) The LOOKUP function requires that SearchVector (the range where you lookup
the value) is sorted. That is not the case for the range $'Accounts
List'.$B$10:$B$93. In a range with mixed number and text, the text has to be
after the numbers. See help
https://help.libreoffice.org/26.8/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_lookup.html

(C) You search with a reference to an empty cell. The standardization of LOOKUP
function has no rule for this special case. You should avoid such situations.
The behavior in LibreOffice and OpenOffice has always been to produce a #N/A
error, Excel renders it blank. The LOOKUP function is not explicitly mentioned
in https://help.libreoffice.org/26.8/en-US/text/scalc/05/empty_cells.html. The
examples there could be extended. For that a new bug report with Component
'Documentation' is needed.
You can suppress the error message, when you wrap the LOOKUP function with a
IF(ISBLANK(E3);"";LOOKUP(E3;...)).

(D) You use the legacy LOOKUP function. You should use the XLOOKUP function
instead, that is available in xlsx-format and in current LibreOffice. It allows
to specify the result for the case of "Not Found" and it has a mode that does
not require that SearchVector is sorted.

in regard to cell background color:
----------------------------------
I see pink cells in Excel as well. Which cell is different between Excel and
LibreOffice?

BTW: (1) Such large document is very unhandy to examine. Provide a document
that is a small as possible. (2) A document attached to a bug report should not
be protected. Only in case the issue is about the protection and in that case
the password has to be told.
