Getting User Name In A Derived Column
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?
Thanks

Using User Variables In Derived Column Transformation
My derived column transformation with a user variable expression displays the user variable's default and not its assignned value. Background: I built a script component that seems to effectively assign a new value to a user variable. I use local variables within the component, make the assignment in the PostExecute subroutine, and check by writing the user variable to a messagebox there. In the derived column transformation I create a new column and insert the user variable in its expression field, add a data viewer, and send it to a data destination. The data viewer shows the user variable default and not the assignned value. I replaced the user variable with a system variable in the expression field and that works fine. Have folks successfully used this scenario before? Any ideas? Thanks.

How To Assign User Variable Value To The Derived Column, In Data Flow Task
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. MA2005

Cast/Convert Mmddyy In String To New DB_DATETIMESTAMP Column In Derived Column Transformation
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

Derived Column Usage When Column Does Not Exist In Source (but Exists In Destination)
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! jm

Add Values To A Column With Derived Column Expression?
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

Deriving A New Column From Another Derived Column
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?

Derived Column
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?

Bcp Into View With Derived Column
Hi,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!

Conditional On A Derived Column
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.

Derived Column From A Condition Statement
I've found that there is no such thing as a Case Statement in the Derived Column task in the data flow objects. I've written a ternary statement instead. I can't seem to get it to work exactly how I want it to. For example AccountCategory == "E" ? 1 : 2 Works fine but the following doesn't AccountCategory == "E" ? CreditAmount : DebitAmount The CreditAmount and DebitAmount Fields are spelled correctly, the field type of AccountCategory is String and the Field type of CreditAmount and DebitAmount is numeric, but that seems to be the same situation that I have in the first example that works. Am I missing something? I'd appreciate any advice anyone has to offer. Thanks, Bill

Derived Shape - Replacing A Column With Itself.
Hi there, I have a derived column shape in which I replace a column with an expression. The expression is an IF statement - a true result sets a value for the column and a false result just uses the existing value of the column (ie it replaces it with itself) Like this. ColumnName DerivedColumn Expression ColumnA Replace 'ColumnA' ColumnB != ColumnC ? "y" : ColumnA But whenever, the condition is NOT met, ColumnA is set to NULL!!!! Does this mean that the column value is deleted before the Expression is applied? If this is how it is meant to work, then does anyone have a way of doing what I want to do without creating extra columns in the dataset?? Cheers.

Derived Column Transformation Expression
Hi. I am using the following expression to check if the first charcter of a string is not the letter "E" and if it is, strip it off by selecting the remainder of the string: SUBSTRING([Derv.comno],1,1) == "E" ? SUBSTRING([Derv.comno],2,10) : [Derv.comno] This is ok in 99.9% of cases, but ideally I would like to be able to check, and alter the string if the first charcter is anything but numeric I had something like this in mind: SUBSTRING([Derv.comno],1,1) != ("1","2","3") ? SUBSTRING([Derv.comno],2,10) : [Derv.comno] but the syntax is incorrect. Could you tell me if what I am attempting is actually possible, and if so, point me in the right direction regarding the syntax! Thanks
