Hi, I hope someone might be able to help me. I'm stepping through the "Creating a Simple ETL Package" tutorial and I've run into an error I can't seem to resolve..
Step 6: Adding and Configuring the Lookup Transformations
8. On the Columns page, make the following selections:
a. In the Available Input Columns panel, drag CurrencyDate to the Available Lookup Columns panel and drop it on FullDateAlternateKey.
ERROR
"Cannot map the input column, 'CurrencyDate', to the lookup column, 'FullDateAlternateKey', because the data types do not match.
With AdventureWorksDW2008R2, the table DimTime no longer exists, so I've determined DimDate as being the lookup table.
The Sample Flat File Source Data has CurrencyDate set to [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] as per the tutorial, however the DimDate.FullDateAlternateKey datatype is set as DATE. I've tried changing CurrencyDate to match but this isn't working and I'm now a bit lost as to how to proceed. I'm in the UK so the date format is obviously different (DD/MM/YYYY) so I'm thinking I might need to do some kind of conversion but not sure how/where.
Thanks for your time.
