Additionally, Chalon modeled Crusader at 37 str MH and 24.5 str offhand. How did he come to those numbers?
Those numbers are just from Kalman's uptime table, which he derived using a Monte Carlo simulation in MATLAB. The main hand value actually will change depending on what weapon you have equipped, whereas the off-hand is constant since you don't have any specials which use the off-hand. For a warrior the numbers are going to be different.

Separate question for anyone. Does Kings multiply every stat, regardless of source? As in, does it work on other buffs, like fort?
Yeah, anything that directly modifies a stat will get a kings bonus. So for instance a 54 sta fort would be a 59 sta fort if you have kings.

As for VLookup, this explains it fairly well:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/vlookup.htm

But I guess the short story the way those are setup:
-I made a named range for just the item names themselves. (eg., WeaponsList)
-This named range is used for the validation list in that cell (to create the drop-down)
-Then I created another named range that includes both the item names and the stats (eg., WeaponsStatsList).
-Then the VLookup is applied to WeaponStatsList
