    If you are migrating using any 3rd party tools, the lookup column you are looking might not exist in source itself only that might be the reason you get those errors, the old items which might be using those lookup columns will causes these kind of issues.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi, @sns ,
    Would you like to share us with more information? Are you in a migration process? What is your current farm ? Are you using 3rd party migration tools? Is this error only refer to a certain list? The lookup filed may refer to a list which no longer exist. You may need to check this column with issue and the list it refers to.
