  Hi guys,

  I am working on SSIS Project, I have three situations where i need your help. I know i can accoplish in DERIVED COLUMN TRANSFORMATION, but i am not very good in expressions.

  1) IF SOURCE.EXTRA4 <=1 THEN TARGET_DUE = SOURCE.EXTRA3 OTHERWISE TARGET_DUE = 0

  2) IF SOURCE.EXTRA3 IS NUMERIC THEN TARGET_CHARGED = SOURCE.EXTRA3

  3) I HAVE TWO COLUMN PAYMENT AND PAID, I WANT TO BRING THOSE VALUE WHO EVERY IS GREATER. HOW I CAN DO THIS THING IN SSIS.

  I realy appreciate for your help.

  1. The syntax is as follows: (boolean_expression) ? expression_if_true : expression_if_false

  2. There is no IsNumeric function in the derived column, but you can build it with a script component:

  3. What do you mean with "I want to bring this value"? Do you want to store the highest value in a column? If yes:

  (Payment > Paid) ? Payment : Paid
