I have a school registration form in which the person picks the teacher they had last year and then the student from that class. The student is a calculated values where it is suppose to put an associated number into another field (I have a condition set up for this). The problem is that this number is not always put into the field. One example is the submission for Kaia Plett. Another example is Sean Dolan this is just two of many examples I could provide.
Please let me know why this number is not put into the field.

Are you referring to the "TransferField" field on your form? I can see this field is not calculating the values that you have assigned in the Dropdown fields that start with "Select Student"
When I took a closer look at your conditions I found the issue is caused due to the way these values are being copied to "TransferField". They are currently copied as a string instead you can calculate them as a number.
Here is how to make changes to your calculation condition.
Instead of Select Student - A-Z it should appear Select Student - 0-9.
I have tested this on a cloned form and it works fine. I hope this helps. Feel free to get in touch should you have further concerns.

Just so I understand.... I was using copy a fields value instead of calculate a fields value. Why can't I use copy a field's value?

Also, why did it work some selections made and not others?

You have to use "Calculate a field's value" in that case since you want to use calculation values, so your field has to use numbers:
By clicking the field (so 0-9 is shown).
Hope it helps.
Let us know if you have any further difficulties.
Thank you!
