Some of the messages/errors you receive using SSIS can be very confusing, but this one is relatively straight forward, and now you know how to fix it.Serena PVCS Version Manager 8.6.0 Release Notes Serena PVCS Version Manager We see that the OLE DB Destination no longer has a warning, so we run it below and we see that all of the data got imported into our table! We need to modify the input column from firstname to the new data conversion field called Converted_Firstname.

Now double click the OLE DB Destination on the Data Flow screen so we can modify the mappings. We left length at 255 since that is what our database table is currently set at. We need to change the Data Type to because we want to convert the spreadsheet data into a Varchar format. For Output Alias, you can use the default name, but I changed ours to Converted_FirstName so I can find it easier. In our case, SSIS could not convert the Firstname to import into the database, so the Input Column will be firstname. If you double click the Data Conversion item, you can now tell it what you want to convert. This will allow us to convert the data from Unicode to Non-Unicode. We need to add a Data Conversion task from our SSIS Toolbox between the Excel Source and the OLE DB Destination. Here is how to fix this so you can get the data imported into your database.

When we look at our SSIS package that was created to import the spreadsheet, we can see we have a warning saying the Firstname column cannot be converted to Unicode. Just do not make any structural changes to your tables without doing full testing before going into production. You can rebuild the table to make the FirstName column Nvarchar, but you do not have time right now to go through quality assurance to make sure the programs accessing this table are not affected. You can see that the Firstname column was setup as Varchar instead of Nvarchar.
