Example: (47 / 204709) * 12000 = 2.754
Both values (47 & 204709) are of data type Int.
SQL Sever - Derived Column Calculation returns 2.74
The destination data type is Float
I have converted the data types to Float, Decimal & Numeric and still got the same answer.
Any suggestions
how to declare multiple derived columns in SSIS Derived Column Task in one attempt.as i have around 150 columns coming from Flat file. I had created the required Expression in Excel and now i want add those in derived column task but its allowing only 1 expression at a time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a excel file which has a column called "Code" and their values are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. I want to create a new column called "status" based on the values of "Code".
Code:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
If A,C,E,G then "status" = "Active" else if B,D,F,H then "Status" = "Inactive". I like to do it using "Derived Column".
Hi,
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

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!

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
Hi, 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
Hi
I am using below code in sql procedure and the data types are below.

cast(b.price as decimal(19,2)) / cast(a.NumPacks * b.quantity as decimal(19,2)) AS UNITPRICE
When I run the above code I should get the result as below
1400.99
Instead I am getting as below
1400.990000000000000000

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi, 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?

I am trying to transfer data from SQL Server 2005 table to another SQL Table. In the source table there is a field called Region [nvarchar(max)]. The values for these fields will be like APAC-China, NA-Racine, etc., i.e Region followed by the country name seperated by - symbol. I want the destination tablre with 2 fields Region[nvarchar(max)] and Country [nvarchar(max)]. I am using a Derived Column task to achieve the same.
Can anyone please help me out in doing this data conversion?
Thanks
Hi,
I am doing a task which will get all data based on several base and crosswork tables. I used stored procedure to get the data, but the next step will be using derived column to massaging data, and to load to the destination database. Is there a way to do that since I must generate data on the fly?
Thanks,

I am trying to create a derived column from two separate fields. One is a date field in format of 2008-03-01 and one is a time field. In DTS I use to have something like this:
DTSDestination("TransactionDate") = cdate(DTSSource("DSRHDATI")) & " " & timevalue(DTSSource("DSRHTIME"))
I am trying to figure out how to do this in SSIS. I know I have to use a dervived column but can't seem to come up with the correct syntax. Any help would be apprecaited. thanks.

Can someone help me with the following query? I need to take the derived value from one column and calculate another column with it.
SELECT UserID,
((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM HPN_LeadMatches)+(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM HPN_Painters)) As Total,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM HPN_Leads) / Main.Total
FROM HPN_LeadMatches As Main
The error i'm getting says is unkown column 'total'. Is there another way to accomplish this?
Thanks!!
In 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?
I have a clustered index in a table. this column is of datatype date. how can i retrieve the following?:
select [date], valueColumn from myTable
where [date] = '2000-01-03' and
('2000-01-03'+1) and
('2000-01-03'+2)
My Goal ist to retrieve 3 values of valueColumn of 3 subsequent days, calculate the average of this 3 values and insert this average in a third colum called [average3days].
I am trying to create a simple query like this -
SELECT
Column_1,
Column_2,
Column_3,
10*Column_1 AS Column_4,
10*Column_2 AS Column_5,
-- I am not being able to understand how to do this particular step Column_1*Column_5 As Column_6
FROM Table_1
First 3 Columns are available within the Original Table_1
The Column_4 and Column_5 have been created by me, by doing some Calculations related to the original columns.
Now, when I try to do FURTHER CALCULATION on these newly created columns, then SQL Server does not allows that.
I was hoping that I will be able to use the Newly Created Columns 4 and 5 within this same query to do further more calculations, but that does not seems to be the case, or am I doing something wrong here ?
If I have to create a new column by the name of Column_6, which is actually a multiplication of Original Column_1 and Newly Created Column_5 "I tried this - Column_1*Column_5 As Column_6", then what is the possible solution for me ?
I have tried to present my problem in the simplest possible manner. The actual query has many original columns from Table_1 and many Calculated columns that are created by me.And now I have to do various calculations that involve making use of both these type of columns.
Hi,
I have a column in table which tells me whether Tax should be calculated on a price. This is stored in a column called taxIncluded. I have a 'price before tax' column e.g. grossPrice. I want to calculate the price after tax e.g. netPrice if the taxIncluded column is set to 1. How do I form my sql statement to test whether the taxIncluded is set to 1 & therefore add the tax at say 20%.
e.g.
id name grossPrice taxIncluded netPrice <--- calculated within SQL
-- ------------- ------------------- ---------------- -------------
1 Product1 10.00 1 12.00
2 Product2 20.00 0 20.00
Hi everyone,
I have a quizzing application where users log in, answer questions, and are ranked relative to each other. For this final ranking, I calculate their score using this formula -
score = (correct Qs answered) * 150 / (total Qs answered) + (total Qs answered)
The SQL query that i use to get this info is -
Code:
SELECT TOP 50 username, (sum(correct) * 150 / count(1) + count(1)) AS score, count(1) as totalq
FROM questionsstats
GROUP BY username
ORDER BY score DESC
This works just fine.
However, on top of this I need to put an additional restriction that only users who have at least answered 20 questions be counted in. How can I do this? Adding a simple 'WHERE totalq > 20' does not work. I get the error "Invalid column name 'totalq'.".
Surely there must be a simple way to do this?
Thanks.
Two questions regarding Derived Columns in SSIS
1. In a if else expression if condition is false how do you keep the value of the source column eg: Name == "" ? "Unknown" : Name
Above will change all the non blank values to Name and not the actual value
in the Name Column eg. John
2. I have a column (unicode string)that stores date and time (The source is flat file) Is it possible to write expression to select the 1st day of month based on that date, and use this derived column as input to a table with a datetime field.
Hello, first time here, first time messing with SQL.
When creating a table in SQLServer2005 can you specify a column to be for a derived attribute. example a column monthlysalary and create a column that is a derived attribute - yearly salary. Is this done when creating the table and how is the syntax ?
Hi All
I m designing SSIS having Data Flow as
Flat File > Derived Column Transformation > Destination Table
but while transfering record from text file to table i need some logic here
my text file is
"ID"|"Name"
1012|"10AA"
1013|"10BB"
logic is 10 should be replace by variable VID = 98
I defined this veriable as int
My ID column in database is int and Name column is varchar(50)
I try here expression like
ID != 98 ? @[User::VID] : ID
it work fine
but for varchar column I am not able to do
I got error when i write expression
SUBSTRING(Name,1,2) != "98" ? [DT_STR, 50, 1252] "(@[User::VID])" + rest of value of column : [Name]
my final output in table should be like
ID..Name
98..98AA
98..98BB
Please help me out

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,I have a view that looks something like this -CREATE VIEW myview AS SELECTmyudf(col1) as col1, col2, col3FROM mytableThe view has an 'INSTEAD OF' trigger on it to do the correct thing oninsert. When I run the bcp, it runs successfully, but the valueinserted into col1 is always NULL. I modified my trigger to get abetter idea of what was happening, and when I look at the values ofINSERTED.col1, they are all null. It appears that bcp is setting thecolumn value to null, presumable because the view definintion for thiscolumn is a derived column.Does any one know a way around this?Thanks!

Hi there,
is there a way that I can set the value of a column to the currrent user in a derived shape?
For instance if I want to set the value of a column to the current data I can merely use GETDATE().
What is the current user equivilent?

Hi,
I have just started learning SSIS. I have created a new package which is as follows :
SOURCE QUERY ----> Derived Column ------> Destination Customer Info
Source Fields are
FirstName
LastName
OrgCode
Phone
Ref1
The Derived column is adding a new Column name FullName and the friendly expression for it is FirstName + "Null" + LastName
Destination has all the columns are same as source columns with similar datatypes.
When i start the debugging process i get the following error:
[Destination - CustomerInfo [29]] Error: Column "FullName" cannot be found at the datasource.
[Destination - CustomerInfo [29]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Destination - CustomerInfo" (29) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
Please let me know where i am going wrong.
Thanks
Hi,
I apologize if this question has already asked (I already looked in this forum but do not find the answer), I need to have this done as soon as possible. I've following data:
column1 column2 begin_date active

1253 1057 1/1/2007 0
1253 1057 4/1/2007 0
1253 1057 7/1/2007 1
I need to have the final result as following: (the new end_date column is the value of the begin_date in the next row -1)
column1 column2 begin_date active end_date
------------- ------------ ---------------- -------- ------------------
1253 1057 1/1/2006 0 12/31/2006
1253 1057 1/1/2007 0 3/31/2007
1253 1057 4/1/2007 0 6/30/2007
1253 1057 7/1/2007 1 null
Any ideas?
Thank you!

I am importing States into a table and need to change all NULL fields before I perform a lookup. I'm using a derived column to replace the state value. I'd like to find all States that are blank and set it to "--".
Ironically, this works:
State != "" ? State : "--"
but
State == "" ? State : "--"
Does not work
Can someone tell me why?
