I’m loading some Excel data to Database through SSIS. When the data is loaded, the SSIS ignores the % symbol in the worksheet.
For example:
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4
----------------------------
98.7% 76.2% 3.09 23%
In the above case, I need to find the columns which have % (to distinguish between numbers and percentages) but SSIS reads the data as 0.9868998899, 0.75478490944, 0.03688899973, 0.230000
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That’s because the
%symbol in Excel is probably part of the formatting and not the data.If you want to make the
%symbol part of the data (which will stop the fields being numeric, incidentally) then you’ll need to transform it either using Paste Special or a formula to concatenate the%symbol:Probably better for you is to keep the data numeric until after it arrives in SSIS, then reformat it in the destination. That way, you’ll avoid rounding errors and other conversion nasties.
