Split a single column of data with comma delimiters into multiple columns in SSIS

Question

I have a table in SQL Server with 3 columns, one of which is a data column containing rows of concatenated columns delimited by commas. The first row is also the header row

Answer 1

You can use the Token expression to isolate strings delimited by well, delimiters.

Use a derived column transformation and something like this:

TOKEN([Name_of_your_Column], "," , 1)

Should give you "a"

TOKEN([Name_of_your_Column], "," , 2)

Should give you "b"

You can also set up a simple transformation script component. Use your "DATA" column as an input and add as many outputs as you need. Use the split method and you're set.

string[] myNewColumns = inputColumn.split(",");
