If you encounter an 'ExpressionCompilerException: The compilation of an expression has failed' error in Mail & Deploy, it indicates a problem with processing your expressions. Here’s a quick guide to help you troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Issue:

STACK TRACE

ExpressionCompilerException: The compilation of an expression has failed.

End of statement expected.

Resolution

Whenever you see the plus and expand icons in the Web interface after a text box or

the icon with three dots in the Designer

 it means that Mail & Deploy is expecting an expression in this text box.

Examples of valid expressions:

"This is a text"

"Sales report - " & Date.Today.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy")

2024

[Datasource].[Executive Dashboard].[Expression].[sum(Sales)]

"Sum of sales: "  & [Datasource].[Executive Dashboard].[Expression].[sum(Sales)]
