Troubleshooting
Problem
Filter expressions must evaluate to Boolean and IF statement doesn't return Boolean. This would cause the expression validation to fail.
Symptom
Generating the following error message when validating the expression:
QE-DEF-0459 CCLException
QE-DEF-XXXX Parsing error before or near position: X of: "IF(_day_of_week (current_date,1)=1)"
