Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening where ever you may be.
Ive taken the plunge into SSIS after studying the Stairway to integration services set on this website and i absolutely love it!!! It makes transforming and manuipulating data SOOO Much easier.
That being said i have run into a little problem...
I have created a package which looks at an excel source and the inserts and updates into a table within my datawarehouse (see attched)
The problem that i have is this table is required to communicate with another database in another part of the datawarehouse which is in Language:
"SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AS"
and when i insert this column into my database it appears as:
"SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"
and to top it all off i have found another Language:
"Latin1_General_CI_AS"
So as you know my next question is...How do i set up a conversion between the "Excel Source" and the "Lookup" Transformation?
Forgive me for the non-technical language i have come from a mechanical engineering background so this is all new to me!!
Also THanks in advance

After your Excel source, add a data conversion component.
Use it to convert your problematical column to DT_STR. You will see at this point that you are able to specify the code page of the converted column (which will be added to your pipeline as a new column called 'Copy of xxxx' by default).
Use this new column to do your lookup. Won't be blindingly fast, but should work.
Alternatively, when creating your lookup, use a query to specify what is going to be 'looked up' and in that change the collation of the lookup column back to what Excel wants.
If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.
