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 everyone,
I am a newbie to SSIS and looking for answer to a simple search/replace style question.
I am building a derived column and looking for some expression syntax that can search for several strings in one column and set a value in a new column.
A bit like a case statement:
CASE ProductLine
WHEN 'R1' THEN 'Road'
WHEN 'M1' THEN 'Mountain'
WHEN 'T1' THEN 'Touring'
WHEN 'S1' THEN 'Other sale items'
ELSE 'Not for sale'
END,
The twist is that 'R1','M1','T1','S1' could feature anywhere in the string that is ProductLine.
Thanks for all your help,
regards,
Chris
Hi guys,
I am looking for some syntax to help me with a traditional search/replace style requirement. I am wanting to examine the contents of one column and populate another.
similar to this SQL case statement
CASE ProductLine
WHEN 'R1' THEN 'Road'
WHEN 'M1' THEN 'Mountain'
WHEN 'T1' THEN 'Touring'
WHEN 'S2' THEN 'Other sale items'
ELSE 'Not for sale'
END,
the twist is that R1, M1 etc. can appear anywhere in the ProductLine column.
thanks for any assistance you can provide.
regards,
Chris
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,
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 am trying to figure out my expression here with derived column
source
Unavailable/Planned
output
Planned(which is after "/".
I achieved this in sql but not finding solution in SSIS Derived column transformation.
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

Is it possible to do pattern matching against a string using FINDSTRING or similar in a derived column expression without recourse to including 3rd party regexp style plugins?
I want to seach for a reference in a string which will have the format ANNNNNAAA ie. an alpha with a certain value followed by 5 digits followed by three alphas with specific values.
eg Z00001YYY or X00022HHH

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
I am new to SSIS and i got 1 assignment.
Requirement:
In my destination table i am having some 30 columns and the CSV files what i get may have 10 columns or 20. How do I map columns between source and destination dynamically?
I have a dtsx import script which import a delimeted csv file into a sql 2012 table. The default of the output length for all columns is set to 50 characters.All records which do not comply goes to another table in the same database. When I ran the script,all the records goes to the error table. I have now found a way to retrieve the column id and the error message to find that some column are been truncated and do not import.
I now need to know which column is given the error. The import file have more than 300 columns and I do not want to go and check each column length.I am using visual studio 2010 and using visual basic. I have found a sample of C+,but the screen shots is very small and when I type in the command,i do not compile.
We have over 400 import scripts and I could really use this in all of them to trouble shoot.
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.

I have a data flow task in which I have a ADO NET source and OLE DB Destination. I have in the ADO NET source a sql command which pulls all the columns in a table. My requirement is to ignore a particular column,say column99. I opened advanced editor and deleted the mapping between the external and output columns for column99. I had also set the Error and Truncation to "Ignore Failure" for column99. I had also mapped the destination column to <Ignore> in OLD DB destination.
But this still throws the error-
Description: The ADO NET Source was unable to process the data. Field table-column99 missing an escape character for a quote.Unable to update PK WHERE clause.Error processing data batch.
How do I solve this?
Hi, 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.
