I have a SSIS package that will run every night. It will import several files and run some SQL code which puts the results into a "results" table. What I need to do is export that file using a data flow task. I can do that, but what I need to do is create a file each night with todays date. for Example:todays date is 10/01/2008. I want the file to export to be:results_10012008.xlsand on 10/02/2008 I want it to be:results_10022008.xlsand so on.I can create a date variable, but how do I update that variable (i.e. which task do I use to put the script), what is the script, and how do I get the variable in the excel export file name data flow task?Please help.HuffDawg |

you dont need to use any task. just go to excel destination task and use expression builder and map the filename property to expression 'results_' + [@user::Datevariable] + '.xls'steps for accesing expression builder is given in link belowhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141698.aspxand example can be found herehttp://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1084 |
