Hi all.
I have an excel spreadsheet which contains financial figures. I have used SSIS to upload this information into a staging table. This information then gets processed into our main system using stored procedures. Upon cycling through these sourced procedures however, I have noticed that some figures do not enter correctly. This is because the spreadsheet represents it's negative values with a minus on the end of the figure rather than the beginning. For example -£100 pounds displays as "100-".
Is there any way i can get this to represent a negative value in either SSIS or excel so that my SPs process the information correctly?
Thanks in advance.
