I'm trying to import a text file which contains dates and decimal values. My problem is that the date has the following format "YYYY-MM-DD" and the decimal sign for the values are "." (dot).

If I change the "Locale" for the file source so it will handle the "." signs in the values then the dates are invalid, and if I have it so the dates are handled then the "."s aren't seen as decimals.

Is it posible to handle this problem in SSIS

Thanks

do a convert in your import, the txt file will interpret the date as string, so i'm wondering how changing the locale will affect it.
