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 RepliesI 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".

Derived column that transforms a CASE statement?
CASE
WHEN [MAIN_GAME] IS NULL AND combo.[CAT_PRODUCT] ='25' THEN 'Standalone'
WHEN [MAIN_GAME] IS NULL AND combo.[CAT_PRODUCT] <> '25' THEN 'No main game'
ELSE LOWER(prod.[TX_PRODUCT_NAME])
END AS [TX_MAIN_GAME]
CAT_MAIN_GAME = nvarchar(6)
FK_GAME = nvarchar(2)
i have a derived column which contains the days of a month from 1 to 31
I have this expression for column 1:
(DT_R4)([1] == 4 ? 0.5 : ISNULL([1]) ? 0.0 : 1.0)
But the ISNULL function will not work. I am sure, there are some NULL Values in Column [1] but i get all the Time the value 1.0 back.
I need the Value 0 instead of NULL to calculate the days in an extra Column.
So that i have in the end a result column which have values for example: 4,5 or 5,5 .why ISNULL is not working?
How can i write expression for below input?
1858;# 1234;#Chun Yang
I want to display only name.
So I am trying to change my date type which is in the 1/1/2015 12:30:10 PM to a 2015-1-1 00:00:00
So I am using Derived Columns to do the trnasformation in Visual Studio but I am getting the following error:
An error occurred while attempting to perform a typecast
So this is what I did
Step 1:
Load date into OLE DB Source
Step 2:
Replace function
REPLACE(ATL,"1/1/2015 12:30:10", "1900-01-01 00:00:00)
Step 3:
Replace Function
REPLACE(ATL,"/","-"0
Step 4:
Replace funtion
REPLACE(REPLACE(ATL, "AM",":00"),"PM",":00"
Step 5: this is where the error occurs
(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)ATL
Step 6:
Load into OLE DB Destination File
I have 10 columns i.e from Segment1 to Segment10. I need to concatenate it with ".". All 10 segments can be null. If any of the segment is null i do not want to show ".". This is the expression I am using
(DT_STR,100,1252)((ISNULL(SEGMENT1) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT1) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT2) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT2) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT3) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT3) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT4)
? "" : "." + SEGMENT4) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT5) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT5) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT6) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT6) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT7) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT7)
+ (ISNULL(SEGMENT8) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT8) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT9) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT9) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT10) ? "" : SEGMENT10))
But if any of the column contains Null or Blank I get ...... I do not want to show these .... if any segment is null.
What mistake am I doing in the above expression?
I have an SSIS package in which I need to include a derived column. I've done derived columns a ton when there is just one condition being "tested". In this case there are two. I have the following update statement for a table I'm inserting data into:
UPDATE STAGING_DIM_AR_INVOICE
SET SC_CODE =
(
CASE
WHEN REC_TYPE = 'P' AND SC_CODE IS NULL THEN 'ag'
WHEN REC_TYPE = 'I' AND SC_CODE IS NULL THEN 'OL'
[Code] ....
I'd like to be able to address this case on the load itself. I've used CONDITIONAL before, but not sure how that would work in this case. I'm trying to keep it as "simple" as possible.
I have the following 2 fields that are sourced from an Excel spreadsheet
DocNumber - a 10 digit number
PostingRow - a number between 1 and 999
I would like to produce a new column that is a concatenation of these two fields, but the PostingRow needs to be a 3 digit number eg. 1000256153-001 ....
Is it possible to access a Derrvied Column from an OLE-DB Command? I have to Update a Table with a join and i need from the source Table columns which have to be pivoted before i can use it in the update Command.
View 4 Replies View Relatedthere is a way to write an if statement for a derived column to count rows?
for example:
Row 35: PRI 7010
Row 100: PRI 7011
formula that when it gets to row 100. it will go back and look at 35 and use that data if the 7010 = 7010, if not use 7011,,,
I have one column CandidatePlaced (Data type Boolean).
Using data conversion i changed data type to DT_WSTR and then i used derived column to manipulate the data. Ex. 1 = "Yes" and 0 = "No"
[Candidate Placed ?] == "1" ? "Yes" : "No"
But at end of result i got all the columns as No. Some should be Yes.
i have too many DTS packages to migrate to SSIS, and while examining a DTS package in BIDS (converted with the migration utility) i tried to edit the resulting migrated package, which opened the DTS interface with the two connection icons joined by the big fat arrow with a gear on it...not exactly what i had in mind, iow, it looks like SSIS on the outside, but its still DTS on the inside.
So I stripped out a series of components from a more complex package hoping that simplifying it would reveal the contents of old DTS Transformations tab at least partially set up in a Derived Column transformation.
Can i get there from here, or must i recreate every stinking definition in a derived column manually from the ground up?
thanks very much for your help
How do you replace quotes in an expression
I mean for example if I needed to replace xx in a string with empty string then the following works: REPLACE(SelectedString, "xx","")
But the example I have needs to actually replace quote marks in a string with an empty string and REPLACE(SelectedString, " " ","") doesn't work. I tried guessing a few option like "E or &QTE or something...
Any ideas ?
Thanks

I am moving data from an oracle database to sql server. Two of the source fields are dates, which sometimes contain values I know to be incorrect ('0001/01/01' and '1900/01/01').
I'd like to use either the derived column or script task (or any other appropriate one) to update these incorrect values (in both columns) to null before inserting into sql server, smalldatetime field.
In sql 2000 dts, I would simply use a VBScript IF statement, but I'm somewhat clueless when it comes to .Net.
Does anyone have any ideas or sample code that may help?
Thank you much.
Hi,
Is there a way to truncate a number to a certain number of decimal places in the SSIS Derived Column component (similar to TRUNC in excel)?
Thanks!
I have a package that fails as soon as it hits the first Data Flow that contains a Derived Column task. The task takes three date columns and looks for a date of 6/6/2079. If it is there, it is replaced with a NULL. This task worked fine until I installed the Non-CTP version of SQL 2005 SP1, earlier today. (I went from RTM 9.0.1399 to SP1 9.0.2047)Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is the error I am trapping:
An error occurred while evaluating the function.
The "component "Update Max Date Value to NULL" (346)" failed because error code 0xC0049067 occurred, and the error row disposition on "input column "WeekEndingDate" (455)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
The ProcessInput method on component "Update Max Date Value to NULL" (346) failed with error code 0xC0209029. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.
Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0209029.
I tried to configure the error output to ignore the failure. The task succeeded. It did not insert anything, however, for the three columns in question. It then failed on the next Data Flow that contained a Derived Column task. I tried to pre-populate the columns with a default date, but no go. Any help would be appreciated.
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.
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 1/1/2006 0
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 need to check if the date is Null then use today's date and if not do something else.
If RowModifiedOn IS NULL Then
GETUTCDATE()
ELSE
DATEADD("Hh",@[User::TimeZone],RowModifiedOn)
End If
What do I do wrong here? Can I do something like it?
RowModifiedOn == NULL ? GETUTCDATE() : DATEADD("Hh",@[User::TimeZone],RowModifiedOn)
Thanks.
Hello All,
Can someone help me out in providing the STEPS to solve this problem. My scneario is, I've a table which has got 2 fields and 5 default row values have been filled in. Now, using the above, duirng package runtime, it need to dynamically create additional field and has to store values like for.e.g (0001 America). I'm getting the following error while executing the ssis package.
1. [DTS.Pipeline] Warning: Component "Derived Column" (1170) has been removed from the Data Flow task because its output is not used and its inputs have no side effects. If the component is required, then the HasSideEffects property on at least one of its inputs should be set to true, or its output should be connected to something.
2. [DTS.Pipeline] Warning: Source "OLE DB Source Output" (87) will not be read because none of its data ever becomes visible outside the Data Flow Task.
Please suggest with your valuable solution at the earliest.
Thanks

Hi:
In the derived column transformation editor, I have a Derived column name called FileGroupID. I would like to pass in a value for this column from a variable that I have set earlier in the scope. Can someone let me know, how to write the expression that does that and where do I specifiy that expression. I am thinking its the expression field in the derived column transformation editor. My main question is how to actually write the expression, what is the syntax to pull the variable value? Thanks.

How would one add this as a derived column
CASE
WHEN Data IS NULL
THEN NULL
WHEN SUBSTRING(REPLICATE('0', 9 - LEN(Data)) + CAST(CYCLE_YYYYMM AS VARCHAR(9)), 4, 6) IS NULL
THEN 0
ELSE RTRIM(SUBSTRING(REPLICATE('0', 9 - LEN(Data)) + CAST(Data AS VARCHAR(9)), 4, 6))
END
From what I have seen the first option is not really required
Hi,
I am trying to upload a csv file into a destination SQL Server table using Data FLow objects in MS SQL Server 2005 SSIS. My destination table X has a date column while my source data file (for which i have a flat file connection) does not have a date column. I created a Derived column for date using the system date function in my Source data object and ran the package but it returned errors. I changed the data type of the derived column but I still get errors.
is there any other way i can get the date on the fly i.e generate a date for the incoming source file and map that (insert into) to the destination table ?
Thanks.
I am trying to put the following as an expression in the SSIS Derived Column Transformation Editor.
DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
It is not allowing it. This works fine in a regular SQL statement.
Does anyone know how I can get this to work?
I have flat file source from which data is imported to a Sql table.The target column is int and input column is string .The column has some numeric values and some blank values.when I tried to convert into int values it fails.

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!

I have one scenario
Table
Col1. Col2
1. A,b,c,df,ghf
2. C,b
3. B
Output should be
Col1. Col2
1. A
1. B
1. C
1. Df
1. Ghf
2. C
2. B
3. B
Can anyone show how to alter the value in a column using DerivedColumn component when creating an SSIS package programatically.
