What does this SSIS package data conversion error mean? - sql-server

[Data Conversion [2]] Error: "Failed to convert data when converting LONGITUDE column (103) to" LONGITUDE copy "column (39). This conversion returned the status value 2 and the status text "The value could not be converted due to a potential loss of data. ".
"

Error messages can be sent beforehand with information indicating the reason for the failure.
"
How can I correct it . I have tried changing data types and matching them .
I have checked my EXCEL file for syntax error ... nothing

Are you using Data Conversion transformation? If so, open it, and check the type of Copy of Longitude, compare that with source. Those two data type are not compatible. You could try to convert it to double.
If it is EXCEL destination, you need to convert it to DT_WSTR

you need to double all sizes in "data conversion" ,
first go to "source destination" and mark all nvarchar column
second go "data conversion" go to these columns and make it double size from length
Note : a data conversion by default make every column datatype 50

Error at Data Conversion Transformation when Trying to Convert String from Excel Source to DB_TIMEZONEOFFSET to SQL Server Destination

Been several years since I had to write an SSIS package and struggling with converting a datetimezone string from Excel to Data Conversion transformation converting to DB_TIMEZONEOFFSET to a SQL Server Destination.
The following is the Timestamp in all 7 rows of Excel source:
The date column from the Excel source is a Unicode String [DT_WSTR] as seen below:
The SQL Server destination field is setup as DATETIMEOFFSET(7) as seen below:
I am receiving the following errors on the Data Conversion transformation when run the data flow:
[Data Conversion 2] Error: Data conversion failed while converting
column "Column1.createdAt" (82) to column "Copy of Column1.createdAt"
(38). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The
value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
[Data Conversion 2] Error: SSIS Error Code
DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "Data
Conversion.Outputs[Data Conversion Output].Columns[Copy of
Column1.createdAt]" failed because error code 0xC020907F occurred, and
the error row disposition on "Data Conversion.Outputs[Data Conversion
Output].Columns[Copy of Column1.createdAt]" specifies failure on
error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified
component. There may be error messages posted before this with more
information about the failure.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The
ProcessInput method on component "Data Conversion" (2) failed with
error code 0xC0209029 while processing input "Data Conversion Input"
(3). The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput
method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal
and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error
messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
It is also important to note that I did also try to use a Derived Column transformation before the Data Conversion transformation as well to cast as DATETIMEOFFSET(7) to match that of SQL Server destination and received errors there as well similar to above.
Been fighting this for a while now and any extra eyes will help.
Thanks.
ssis cannot do the conversion if there are T and Z letters in the field. Use the REPLACE command to replace the letter T with space and the letter Z without characters. Like This : (DT_DBTIMESTAMPOFFSET,7)REPLACE(REPLACE(createdAt,"T"," "),"Z","")

SSIS Data Conversion string to timestamp

I'm trying to convert a column into timestamp.
Value sample : ETime : 2020-06-04 17:46:53.750
What I've done
I add the data conversion, edit the input column (ETime)
Input and output properties on Show Advanced Editor
Data conversion output, choose copy of ETime
Change : FastParse : True and DataType : database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP]
But it returning this error
Error: 0xC02020C5 at Data Flow Task, Data Conversion [11]: Data conversion failed while converting column "ETime" (94) to column "Copy of ETime" (15). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Am I missing something?
edit
Data sample 1.
id, cid, invid, etc
33333,44444,abc333334,shoes
33334,77777,abc3333347,shoes

I'm joining them on cid
It is possible for Data sample 2 have broken data as
cid,invid,bcode,ETime
44444,abc333334,NULL,Nodatafound
Tried with a missing row and got the exception:
Error: 0xC02020C5 at Data Flow Task, Data Conversion 1: Data
conversion failed while converting column "Column 0" (25) to column
"Copy of Column 0" (6). The conversion returned status value 2 and
status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential

Now tried without any missing row and its worked
It seems there are missing value available or data not in correct format.
Try ignore failue from Configure Error Output of data convertion component.

SSIS data conversion from CSV source column NULL to DB destination Decimal(18,2)

First of all, when the column isn't NULL, it is successfully able to do the conversion. The destination DB field accepts null values.
In my Data Conversion step I have set the Input Column's DataType to numeric[DT_Numeric], Precision 18, and Scale 2.
I have two rows in my CSV, the first row does not contain any NULLS.. and if I execute that it's a success. However when I add a 2nd row with a NULL value in that column it fails and I get these errors:
[Data Conversion [2]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "Column 24" (138) to column "DbColumn24" (22). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
[Data Conversion [2]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "Data Conversion.Outputs[Data Conversion Output].Columns[DbColumn24]" failed because error code 0xC020907F occurred, and the error row disposition on "Data Conversion.Outputs[Data Conversion Output].Columns[DbColumn24]" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "Data Conversion" (2) failed with error code 0xC0209029 while processing input "Data Conversion Input" (3). The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
I do not think I need a Derived Column step before data conversion step to handle any nulls because the DB column accepts nulls.
Since your source is a CSV, I doubt that you actually have any NULL values in your source at all. More likely you have empty string values, which are not the same as NULL, and empty strings cannot be implicitly converted to Decimal. You will probably have to explicitly convert the empty strings to NULL in an expression.
The work around would be
1) First convert the column to varchar/nvarchar
2) Use derived column to convert to Decimal
3) Map the converted column to destination

SSIS how to convert object to varBinary for SQL

I have a csv file from csvde which has the objectGUID and some other information from AD.
I want to use SSIS to copy this info into the following table in SQL
[DN] [varchar](255) NULL,
[ObjectGuid] [varbinary](50) NULL,
[pwdExpiry] [bigint] NULL
Sample csv file from csvde file looks like this:

I have the SSIS package with two connection managers. One of them is for flat file and I'm reading the column objectGUID from the csv as a string. The thing is I want to convert this column inside a dataflow task to a format which I can push to the [ObjectGuid] varbinary NULL column in the SQL table.
I have use the data conversion transform and tried converting to DT_GUID and DT_BYTES but they both fail at that data conversion step when I run the package.
So what I really want to see is that if I have an objectGUID in csv file as
X'168dea153aab0a45adf8079b94041e90' (string)
I want to see it in the SQL table as
0x168DEA153AAB0A45ADF8079B94041E90 (varBinary)
The error I get on SSIS runtime is:
Error: 0xC02020C5 at Data Flow Task, Data Conversion [2]: Data conversion failed while converting column "ObjectGuid.LeftCleaned" (16) to column "Copy of ObjectGuid.LeftCleaned" (6).

Please help
I believe the key is here:
"The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data."
Ensure you have given a large enough Length to the Data Conversion task to accommodate for the largest possible value in the CSV. Also on the other side you need to make sure that the column can hold that same amount of data after conversion.

SSIS Blank Int Flat File Fail on Load

I have an SSIS package I am using to load a Fixed Width flat file. I have put in all the column lengths and have two packages against similar files working correctly. The third however keeps throwing the following error:
[Source 1 [16860]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Line Number"
returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a
potential loss of data.".
[Source 1 [16860]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR.
The "output column "Line Number" (16957)" failed because error code 0xC0209084
occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Line Number" (16957)"
specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified
component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about
the failure.
After doing some testing this happens for any column I have the is using the DT_I4 Data Type and has a blank in the column. I was going to try using a derived column, but this seems to fail for some of the columns even if I change them to a string data type to handle the blank as a NULL and then do a conversion to an INT later in the data flow.
In the source and the destination task I have the Retain NULL values checkbox ticked however this hasn't changed anything.
Any suggestions on handling this error where INT seems to fail at converting a blank to a NULL?
DT_I4 maps to a four byte signed integer in SSIS.
You were on the right track with your derived column. You just need to add the right expression.
You can try this expression:
ISNULL([Line Number]) ? "0":[Line Number]

I ended up using the approach from this blog post:
http://www.proactivespeaks.com/2012/04/02/ssis-transform-all-string-columns-in-a-data-flow-stream/
to handle all of the null and blank columns via a script task and data conversion.
