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:
I'm importing a csv-file delimited with semicolons. Firstly I LTRIM the columns "in place" and the data imports fine. All the numbers in right columns in the target table. Then I add another Derived Colum Transformation to replace decimal character comma (,) to a dot (.) in order to convert the string/varchar value to numeric. But here I run into trouble. Running the task ends in success but the result in the target table (same as above) is not. All the commas are now dots as expected but what is worse is that SSIS have added values in cells that should not be there. I get values in cells that shoud be empty!
Shortly: Only LTRIM([Column1]) as expression and "Derived Column" as Replace 'Column1' works OK.
But adding REPLACE-expression (i.e REPLACE(LTRIM([Column1]) , "," , ".") to this breaks things up
I'm aware that I could do this with SQL but this is not the point...
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.
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
Hello. I am using Derived Column transformation for calculating the age of individual and then adding the column to my final destination. In SQL, the DOB is varchar(50) and the output column I am creating should be Integer. Here is the expression I am using for calculating the age: (DATEDIFF("DAY",(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)TRIM(DOB),(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)TRIM([Service Date])) / 365.25)
In SQL, I have no problems getting the age of a person, but I am having difficulties using Derived Column Transformation. I get the following error when executing my package:
Error: 0xC0049067 at Data Flow Task, Derived Column [2086]: An error occurred while evaluating the function.Error: 0xC0209029 at Data Flow Task, Derived Column [2086]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "component "Derived Column" (2086)" failed because error code 0xC0049067 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "_AGE" (2877)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
Greetings, I am attempting to create a flat file delimited by |. I am using (ISNULL(LIN1_OPT_ADDR) ? "" : LIN1_OPT_ADDR + "| ") to replace the blank address column with the pipe delimiter. So that a row that would consist of:
Customer Number,Name,Address Line1,City,State
12345,ACE HARDWARE INC. ,801 Rockefeller St.,New York, New York 56789,BUILDING SUPPLY INC., ,Wichita, Kansas
Should end up as:
12345|ACE HARDWARE INC.|801 Rockefeller St.|NEW YORK|NEW YORK 56789|BUILDING SUPPLY INC.||Wichita|Kansas
When I run the data flow to create the flat file the file contains the following:
Hi all€”Given a date field called [Reading Date] and a time field called [Reading Time], I am attempting to use the following transformation on the field to test for nulls and combine the data into a single field called [Reading Date/Time]:
Error at Data Flow Task [Derived Column1[177]]: Attempt to parse the expression "(DT_WSTR)([Reading Date]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Date]) || (DT_WSTR)([Reading Time]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Time])? (DT_DBDATE)GETDATE() : (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],7,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,4) + " " + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,8))" failed. The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element. It might not be well-formed or might be missing part of a required element such as a parenthesis.
Here is a sample [Reading Date]: 05/07/08
Here is a sample [Reading Time]: 19:45:48
I need to be able to handle exceptions if one or both contain NULL or no data at all. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
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.
Can somebody please help me with the implementation of a logic in round off to the left of a decimal point. Something like this in excel "=ROUND(x/12*31%,-2)" is to be implemented in SSIS. The Round function in the derived column is not permitting -2 for the length parameter. Please help
The table lists the values for X in the formula and the respective result calculated by Excel. I would want SSIS to give the same results like excel is giving. Please help me to make it work.
I'm having trouble coming up with a valid expression in my derived column transformation editor that tests the input column for NULL and responds something like this:
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.

I am trying to pass a variable set by a Row count transformation to a derived column transformation. There are actually three separate Row Count transformations storing to different variables. In the derived column trans. the expression i am using is @[User::ClientCount] and the variable type is Int32 and I am passing it to an I4 database column. After the derived column trans. all rows just come out with 0s in the row count columns. Does anyone know why this would be? Please let me know if you need more information.
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 ....
I 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.
I am having a question on derived column expression. The expression I am trying to use for the derived column is as below (column1 is a numeric data type column):
case
when column1<0 then 'yes'
else 'no'
end
But I got the error message though, would please any experts here give me any advices on the expression I used? What is wrong with the expression I used above?
Thank you very much and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
The following simple expression is not working for in a derived column transform. I have tried several things back and forth with lots of frustration.
DAY((DT_DATE)mydate)
In fact any of the date/time functions are not working for me and I keep getting the following error
[Derived Column [380]] Error: The "component "Derived Column" (380)" failed because error code 0xC0049067 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Derived Column 1" (824)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
mydate happens to be imported as string[DT_STR] column from a flat file source.
I'm trying to import from Excel, using (Assignment == 0 ? "In Use" : Assignment == 1 ? "In Stock" : "Retired") to convert 3 values to text and I' getting the following error: An error occurred while attempting to perform data conversion. The source type could not be converted to the destination type.
Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks Dean
ps. just fixed it myself by changing the data type of the input column
I have an existing 2000 DTS package that uses the following case statement:
Case When TERMS_PERCENT ='0' then 0 else cast(TERMS_PERCENT as decimal(6,2))/100 end as TermsPct
to convert a source DT_STR(4) datatype to a DT_Numeric(5,2) destination column and would like to use an equivelent derived column expression in 2005. Being a DBA by nature and experience I'm having trouble converting this statement to a valid expression without failure, any help would be greatly appreciated.
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
I am importing data from a CSV to a DB with a SSIS package. Among some things things it already does, it has to decide if the relation between one row and the following is acceptable. If it is not, the 2nd row is discarded, the next one is taken and the relation value is calculated again to decide whether to keep this one or not, and so on.
To calculate this value, I need to apply a formula that includes sin(), cos() and acos() functions. I have already written this formula as a scalar-valued function in my SQL Server.
So, my question is: - Is there a way to call a function (a UDF) within the Expression in a Derived Column dataflow item? and if not, - Hoy can I use trigonometric functions within the Expression in a Derived Column dataflow item?
I hope someona can tell me something about this... I'm falling into despair! :-s
I 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.
