In the example I don't pivot the data as I just want to split the string and have multiple rows. You should be able to figure out how to Pivot it if that is your need:[code="vb"]Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer) Dim RowId As String = Row.RowID Dim DelimitedList As String = Row.DelimitedList Dim delimiter As String = "," If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(RowId.Trim) Then If Not (String.IsNullOrEmpty(DelimitedList)) Then Dim DelimitedListArray() As String = DelimitedList.Split(New String() {delimiter}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries) For Each item As String In DelimitedListArray With Output0Buffer .AddRow() .RowId = RowId .Item = item.Replace(ControlChars.Cr, "").Replace(ControlChars.Lf, "").Replace(ControlChars.Tab, "").Trim() End With Next End If End IfEnd Sub[/code]Fri, 15 Jan 2010 07:10:05 GMT Jack Corbetthttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic679052-148-1.aspx[quote][b]Jack Corbett (3/19/2009)[/b][hr]It can be done in SSIS, but you have to use a Script Component to do it.

If you have to load simple CSV file, the much better approach is to use directly the standard bcp facility.Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:07:14 GMTCozyRochttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic679052-148-1.aspxUsing XML its easier[url=http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/XML/61618/]http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/XML/61618/[/url] regards.Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:05:43 GMToddiejbphttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic679052-148-1.aspxGlad I could help. A tally table has a lot of uses, almost anytime you think you need a loop see if there is a way to use a tally table.Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:42:47 GMT Jack Corbetthttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic679052-148-1.aspxThanks a lot, Jack!It all worked perfect!
