• in the derived column transformation, expand the list of columns in the top left pane. click on the one you want (the new one from the conversion transformation) and drag it down to the Expression box in the main editing pane. click in the derived column box and a drop down appears. select "replace '[your column]'". that's it.

    btw, is it a real problem to have the extra column?
