I've been given the task of moving data from an old system to a new one. That's easy enough apart from some of the data fields do not match in the least:

Example: In the old system (tableOld) there is a field that contains text data such as 'Laboratory','Field','Market','Demo','Development', but this one field could contain one or more of these. In the new system (tableNew) there are boolean fields for each of the above.

What I need is a way to check for these and then make sure the correct field(s) gets ticked (1 entered into the field) in the new system.

Any suggestions, just trying to get my head around SSIS.

Thanks for any help provided.

Use a derived column task and use a CASE expression to get value of each bit.
