                                            | I am working on automating some data that I receive from Germany. The Date format comes in as DD.MM.YYYY and I need it to be MM/DD/YYYY. I am building an import package using SSIS and I added a derived column to change the date format. I first tried to use    (DT_DATE) [CalendarDay]but I keep getting an error at the Derived Column when I execute the package.     [Derived Column [2]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR.    The "Derived Column" failed because error code 0xC0049064 occurred, and the error     row disposition on "Derived Column.Outputs[Derived Column Output].Columns[Date]"     specifies failure on error.So I moved through the many examples in StackExchange (all that I could find at least) and was met with the same error or not the desired output.Any suggestions.Brian D.

                                          | I fixed the error by using the Substring Method that was provided by user3112708 and making an minor alteration to the numbering sequence.SUBSTRING(CalendarDay,4,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(CalendarDay,1,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(CalendarDay,7,4)Thank you every one for your help.Brian D.
