Default Match worksheet Function displays wrong data on calculation

I am looking for some assistance on a way to get around what I believe
is an error in excel of some sort.

I am attempting to do a Match based off of a calculated field as the
data in my worksheet is in percentages and the data in another
worksheet is in whole numbers.

Cell: N35 = 1.7500%
Cell: Q36 = =MATCH(N35*100, CRF!E56:E67, -1)

I need this to be a -1 as I want to show the largest number if there
is no exact value that is closest to the original number.

Sheet Match:
Cell E56: 3
Cell E57: 2.75
Cell E58: 2.5
Cell E59: 2.25
Cell E60: 2
Cell E61: 1.75
Cell E62: 1.5
Cell E63: 1.25
Cell E64: 1
Cell E65: .75
Cell E66: .5
Cell E67: .25

It works properly for every single number except 1.75 and I can't
figure out why. It keeps displaying Row 5 which correlates to 2.

If I change Q36 to be =MATCH(1.75, CRF!E56:E67, -1) it works fine, but
when I do (1.7500%*100) it doesn't which leads me to believe that
excel is viewing those as two different numbers. I have tried using
round to just bring it to 4 digits, I even tried displaying 30 digits
to see if there was some sort of calculation bug within excel.

Please help.
