EVALstatement not working

My eval statement below is to check if 'Action is Required' only if the below conditions are met, I have also used case and if statement to determine this, however none of these have worked.

  • Location does not equal Varonis (i.e equals Not in Varonis)
  • MonitoringStatus does not equal Monitored (i.e equals Not Monitored)
  • Contains the word "Hosting" in the Path field

| eval VaronisStatus=if(('(g)Location'!="Varonis" AND(MonitoringStatus!="Monitored") AND like(Path,"%Hosting%")),"Action Required", "No Action Required")

|| eval VaronisStatus=case(('(g)Location'!="Varonis" AND(MonitoringStatus!="Monitored") AND like(Path,"%Hosting%")),"Action Required" , 1=1,"No Action Required")
