I am importing a .csv file into a table in sql server using ssis.

in dataflow, there is a flat file connection task and an oledb destination.

The table has float columns. The ssis gives the following error:

[OLE DB Destination [54]] Error: There was an error with input column "One Week" (88) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (67). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".

How can this be solved please?. Should I use a convert task if there is one?
Thanks

you can use data conversion task or derived column where you cast it to accurate numeric data type

It seems to be easier to do the conversion inside the stored proc.
