GDHF33              1233DFG

**

now i want to remove last 2 digits from column 1 and append it to Column2. And my data has to be in this way.

**

Column1             Column2  
ABCD              12 5678ABC  
ABCD              99 2341KFJ
GDHF              33 1233DFG

how can this be done in SQL Server and SSIS.

Answer 1

if the last two digits are fixed, you can use LEFT and RIGHT functions.

SELECT LEFT(Column1, LEN(Column1) - 2) Edited_Column1,
       RIGHT(Column1, 2) + ' ' + Column2 Edited_Column2
FROM   table1
