Two points:

a) the minimum XPs for a flight is not 7 - that is just the once-off, compromise value chosen for the purposes of "conversion", and is only relevant in relation to the conversion from number of Level Segments on 31 March 2018 and only relates to this single, once-off "transition" necessary to bridge you from the old to the new scheme. As per the table below, a single qualifying flight may earn as few as 2, or as many as 60, XPs. As such, the value of "Qualifying Flight = 7XPs" is only valid on the single date of 31 March 2018, and only for the purpose of determining which of the 2 current status "scores" (level miles, level segments) should be taken forward as your starting XP balance.

b) your flight occurs prior to 1 April 2018. As such, it earns level miles and 1 level segment - it does not earn XPs. Only flights taken from 1 April 2019 onwards earn XPs, and only flights with a date of this or later in the calculator will show non-zero XP values. Individual flights taken prior to this date do NOT earn XPs. Instead, they earn the amount of Level Miles indicated, plus a single level segment. On 31 March 2018, each of these totals will be converted using whichever XP amount works out higher (using the formula : 1,000 Level Miles = 5XP; 1 Level Segment = 7XP; it simply is not possible to assign an individual XP balance to any flight taken prior to 1 April 2019, as the XPs that will appear in your balance on that date are based on a conversion from either the Level Miles, or the level segments, and are not simply an "addition" of 7XP for every flight taken between January and March of 2018. [it could very well be that your Level Miles total gives you a higher XP after conversion than your Segment total does. In that case, the flight that earned 150 Level Miles would actually only contribute 0.75XP. So, for the calculator to work as you seem to think it should, the "XP" balance would have to say something like: "equivalent to 0.75 future XPs, if Level Mileage total on 31/03/18 works out to give the greater overall XP amount after conversion; otherwise, worth 7 future XPs, if instead the number of level segments on 31/03/18 works out to give the greater overall XP amount after conversion]

(To be honest, looking at the earning reported by you for this flight, it looks like that, after April, it would only earn 5 XPs maximum. However, they are NOT going to go back and calculate the "correct" values for each flight taken - instead, they just look at the totals of Level Miles and Level Segments, and use the (somewhat arbitrary, and which will benefit many, and penalise others) conversion rates, to get your starting XP total).
