NP("EVAL") vs NP("FORMULA")

*For your reference I am using the NL functions and NOT Table Builder*

I am working on a formula that should allow me to say IF a Order Flow ($H15) = for example (OI LCL 0000). I would like column ($I15) to = (LCL). Because this is information coming out of a database, NL(Rows) is being used to pull all records based on my filters.

 

I tried the following scenarios in column $I15:

NP("Eval")

=NP("Eval";"=IF(MID($H15;4;3)=""LCL"";""LCL"";"""")

This gave me the correct result. However, the rows below contained the same result due to EVAL function which breaks the connection to the database.

NP("Formula")

When I use this function and run the report, it just gives me the result of

Formula(IF= etc............)

I could just use the =IF formula which gives me the correct result but after I run the report I don't want the formula to be seen in the formula bar as well.

What am I not doing correctly for it to for the formula function to not work correctly? It would be appreciated if you van provide me with some examples so I can see where I am going wrong.
