convert mm/dd/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd in ssis

Question

HI All,

I have an csv file with date column in the following format mm/dd/yyyy, i need to convert that date column to the following format yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss, before loading it into oledb destination. i have used derived column transformation for this purpose and tried out the following expression

(DT_DATE)("20" + SUBSTRING(ReceivedDateTime,1,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(ReceivedDateTime,3,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(ReceivedDateTime,5,2)) it is throwing error like unable to perform type cast.

You have wrong expression. You have mentioned, you have date in formant "mm/dd/yyy" and based on your expression you will receive below string for eg.

"04/25/2012" => "20" + "04" + "-" + "/2" + "-" + "5/" => "2004-/2-5/"

And the string "2004-/2-5/" is not convertible into date.

Correct expresstions should look like:

(DT_DATE)(RIGHT(ReceivedDateTime,4) + "/" + LEFT(ReceivedDateTime,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(ReceivedDateTime,4,2))

or

(DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING(ReceivedDateTime,7,4) + "/" + SUBSTRING(ReceivedDateTime,1,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(ReceivedDateTime,4,2))
