You need to change $2 and $1 to the relevant columns in your table,
maybe this is the problem?  I made this formula on one of your
extracted tables where the variable was in column one and I have
created a new column 2 for the default values.

also, the formula seems to return (nil) or (t) instead of nil or t,
so it seems to add an additional pair of parenthesis.
