Lets say I have a Flat File with 3 columns (EXAMPLE PIPE SEPARATED) This is Flat File
Name | LastName | BirthDay
Arthur | Tower | 10-10-1990
Now in SSIS how can I add Columns but I want the column to have a specific text/number (value) on which I will specify the source since i will be importing data from different systems to the same SQL Table
Example of how I want to see once imported in SQL
Name | LastName | BirthDay | FileFrom
Arthur | Tower | 10-10-1990 | Facebook
Karen | Salty | 12-19-1987 | Twitter
Well this is what I did,
I added a Derived Column and on EXPRESSION I SET the following: REPLACENULL("TheValueINeeded","NULL")
To replace nulls with the value I wanted, I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it but it worked.
Now my imported data to SQL it's all the flat file info and in the last ADDED COLUMN I'm sending "TheValueINeeded".
Thanks for the help Stackers.
