Add Values To A Column With Derived Column Expression?
Feb 25, 2008Hi, how are you?
I'm having a problem and I don't know if it can be solved with a derived column expression. This is the problem:
We are looking data in a a sql database.
We are writting the SQL result in a flat file.
We need to transform data in one of the columns.
For example: we can have 3 digits as value in a column but that column must be 10 digit length. So we have to complete all the missing digits with a zero. So, that column will have the original 3 digits and 7 zeros. How we can do that tranformation? We must do it from de the flat file or it can be a previous step?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Regards,
Beli

Need Some Help Writing Part Of The Derived Column Component
Aug 29, 2006Hey. I need to see if "/" is present in the column11 and if it's then just pass it as is or do the substring part. How do I get this to work? It's giving me an error. This is for a TimeDate column. I can get a 20060813 or 2006/08/13.I'm using the below and it's giving me an error saying that It should be DT_BOOL and I'm trying to return DT_I4.
findstring(Column11,"/",2) ? Column11 : SUBSTRING(TRIM(Column11),1,4) + "-" + SUBSTRING(TRIM(Column11),5,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(TRIM(Column11),7,2)
Thank you

Expression Problem In Derived Column Component
Nov 22, 2006I am reading an excel file with a field that consists of lastname, firstname. I am using the Derived Column transformation to separate the two fields. The firstname expression works fine: SUBSTRING(F1,FINDSTRING(F1,",",1) + 1,LEN(F1) - FINDSTRING(F1,",",1))
However, the lastname field keeps giving me an error when I use SUBSTRING(F1,1,FINDSTRING(F1,",",1) - 1). I'm sure I've used this substring before in visual studio. Could this be a bug? The error is below.
[Add Columns [2886]] Error: The "component "Add Columns" (2886)" failed because error code 0xC0049067 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LastName" (3100)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
How To Use Coalesce Function In Derived Column Component?
Jan 19, 2007Hi all,
You know the coalesce function is not offered in the derived column component. how can I use the coalesce function within the component? And how can I use a user defined function within derived column component? Would you be kind enough to give an example?
Thanks! Any reply or comment is highly appriciated.

Consuming Error Output From A Derived Column Component
Apr 16, 2007Hi,
I have created a program that imports a csv into the sql server. but during that import I need to track all the errors that occured for some malformed rows. I think I need to use the error output collection of the dataflow components to track the errors. I figured out that every dataflow component has a error output collection along with the data output collection. I want to write those error outputs into a separete database. So, I have created a SQL server data destination component and created a path between derived columns error output and it input collection. But it is not working as expected. can any body help on this?
or can anyone give me any example how to use/handle error output collection in SSIS?
I will appreciate all kind of suggestions.
thanks

Jan 31, 2007I have a table in my report which shows sales values for each month by looking at the month number
so for Jan i use
=IIf(Fields!period_.Value=1,Fields!nett_.Value,0)
for Feb
=IIf(Fields!period_.Value=2,Fields!nett_.Value,0)
this is all good and I get a series of rows per customer with the correct value in the correct column
JAN FEB Mar
Customer A 250
Customer A 350
Customer A 5000
.
However I want to create a summary a line
JAN FEB Mar
Customer A 250 350 5000
I tried using SUM but this doesn't give all of the values in the summary line. It might just give the first and the rest are zeros. Or if the customer didn't have a value in Jan, but did in Feb and March, Feb's value is shown, but March is at 0 etc.
Have spent far too long on this today, so if anyone as any suggestion (come back Crystal all is forgiven ) on any approach I could take to this I'd appreciate it.

Cast/Convert Mmddyy In String To New DB_DATETIMESTAMP Column In Derived Column Transformation
Mar 5, 2007Hi,
I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance.
When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.
When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.
Thanks
Derived Column Usage When Column Does Not Exist In Source (but Exists In Destination)
Sep 11, 2007
Posted - 09/10/2007 : 15:53:26
Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )
I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.
Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
'************************************************************************
' Copy each source column to the destination column
Function Main()
DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now)
DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now)
DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031")
DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030")
DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029")
DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
***********************************************************
Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.
thanks in advance!

Derive A Column Based On Other Derived Column In A Table .. Is It Possible ?
Mar 25, 2008
Table structure as follows
Employee
Empno empname salary
commission
I want to have an other employee table named employee_modified
Empno empname salary
commission derived_column1(salary+commission)
derived_column2(derived_column1 + xxxx) and so on derive other
columns based on the earlier derived columns)
Is that possible to do it.. or am I doing something wrong.
something like
Select empno , empname , salary , commission,
(salary + commission) as derived_colum1 ,
(derived_colum1 + xxxxx) as derived_colum2 ,
(derived_colum2 + xxxxx) as derived_colum3
into employee_modified from employee

Deriving A New Column From Another Derived Column
Jul 26, 2006In a Derived Column data flow transformation, why can't I refer to a derived column (added in that same transformation) in the expression for another derived column? It seems I am forced to chain 2 DC data flows, just to do something as conceptually simple as:
a = x + y; b = a²
On a related note: Can I define a variable that is scoped to each row? Can I bind a variable in an expression to avoid creating a new row, e.g.
let a = x + y; a²
as the expression for new row b?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAltering Column Fields With A Stored Procedure
Jul 20, 2005I have some columns of data in SQL server that are of NVARCHAR(420)format but they are dates. The dates are in DD/MM/YY format. I want tobe able to convert them to our accounting system format which isYYYYMMDD. I know the format is strange but it will make things easierin the long run if all of the dates are the same when working betweenthe 2 different databases. Basically, I need to take a look at theyear portion (with a SUBSTRING function maybe) to see if it is greaterthan 50 (there will not be any dates that are less than 1950) and ifit is concatenate 19 with it (ex. 65 = 1965). Then, concatenate themonth and day from the rest to form the date we need in NUMERIC(8).So, a date of January 17, 2003 (currently in the format of 17/01/03)would become 20030117. In VB, the function I would write is somethinglike the following:/*Dim sCurrentDate as StringDim sMon as stringDim sDay as StringDim sYear as StringDim sNewDate as StringsCurrentDate = "17/01/03"sMon = Mid(sCurrentDate, 4, 2)sDay = Mid(sCurrentDate, 1, 2)sYear = Mid(sCurrentDate, 7, 2)If sYear < 50 ThensYear = "20" & sYearElseIf sYear > 50 ThensYear = "19" & sYearEnd ifsNewDate = sYear & sMon & sDay*/I was thinking of doing this in a Stored Procedure but am really rustywith SQL (it's been since college).The datatype would end up being NUMERIC(8). How I would write it if Inew how to write it would be: grab the column name prior to theprocedure, create a temp column, format the values, place them intothe temp column, delete the old column, and then rename the tempcolumn to the name of the column that I grabbed in the beginning ofthe procedure. Most likely this is the only way to do it but I have noidea how to go about it.

Derived Column
May 6, 2008Hi, wondering if anyone can help me. I currently have a field that has a date and time in it in the format dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss. Ideally I would like to get rid of the time part of it altogether but for it to still be recognised as a date as opposed to a string. However, I've been told that this is not possible in 2005, is this true? If this is the case, what would be the best way to set the time to 00:00:00 after the date for all records on that field?
