    Use the SUBSTRING() function.

    Have a try and post back with how you get on.

    Derived columns in SSIS do not use T-SQL syntax - they use SSIS Expression syntax, which is a bit like C#. So no selects, converts etc. You just need to know the column name and start positions/lengths.

    Have a look at some more examples on-line & you'll see what I mean.

    I'm a bit unclear of your requirements but I assume you want to extract the Month and Year from a given date and create a string from the components in the format YYYYMM.

    If so try this:

    SELECT CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS NVARCHAR(4)) + RIGHT('0' + CAST(MONTH(GETDATE()) AS NVARCHAR(2)),2)

    Good luck!

    No - this is not how SSIS derived columns work. The formula for a derived column can be as simple as

    SUBSTRING( «character_expression», «start», «length» )

    where character expression is typically a column name (in square brackets.)

    Why not consider storing as a DATE data type and then convert to the said format when required. Don't understand why you would want to store as int? What's the reason?

    My date column is called periodbegin. The derived column is like this:

    YEAR(PeriodBegin) * 100 + MONTH(PeriodBegin)
