I am using a flat file data provider in SSIS to import data from an external system. I don't have any control over the file, it is pushed out on a weekly basis, and I pick it up from a common folder.
The first two columns of the CSV are dates. Part of the way through the file, the date format has changed from date to numeric as follows:
Service_Date, Event_Datetime
2018-04-30,2018-04-30 21:18
43220,43220.92412
As you can see, the format changed from date to numeric. Other date columns not shown here also have changed.
Obviously, this is breaking the data flow task.
Aside from going into Excel and saving the CSV with the proper column format, is there any way within SSIS can convert on the fly so that the job doesn't fail and require manual intervention?
