Hi I have SSIS package take source from DB to flat file Destination. However, the format I get in CSV file for REFERENCENO is in general and I try to convert the data type to text or numbers is still getting wrong (seems like data missing when convert to numbers). Apart from that, I also try do data conversion from string to text in ssis package, still didnt get the correct format in CSV. Anyone can please help?

    Hi @jn93 ，

    You can add a apostrophe in front to force Excel to show it as text instead of a numeric value.

    Use SSIS Derived Column Transformation with below expression: 

     "'" + <yourColumnName>

    Or you may open the csv file with notepad, it will not show the Incorrect Format.
