In this tutorial, we are going to learn how does Conditional Split transformation work in SSIS package. The Conditional Split transformation can route data rows to different outputs depending on the content of the data. The implementation of the Conditional Split transformation is similar to a CASE decision structure in a programming language.
The transformation evaluates expressions, and based on the results, directs the data row to the specified output. This transformation also provides a default output, so that if a row matches no expression it is directed to the default output.
We can configure the Conditional Split transformation in the following ways:
* Provide an expression that evaluates to a Boolean for each condition you want the transformation to test.
* Specify the order in which the conditions are evaluated. Order is significant, because a row is sent to the output corresponding to the first condition that evaluates to true.
* Specify the default output for the transformation. The transformation requires that a default output be specified.
To live demo, please visit my YouTube Channel at -
Each input row can be sent to only one output, that being the output for the first condition that evaluates to true.
The Conditional Split transformation includes the FriendlyExpression custom property. This property can be updated by a property expression when the package is loaded.
Note - The Conditional Split transformation directs each input row to one output only. If you enter multiple conditions, the transformation sends each row to the first output for which the condition is true and disregards subsequent conditions for that row. If you need to evaluate several conditions successively, you may need to concatenate multiple Conditional Split transformations in the data flow
