Using variables in a Lookup transformation

  • How do pass variables to a sql statement in a lookup transform?

    I have a package that I'm putting together... and at the beginning of the package I load up several variables with values from a table... then later in the package, I want to do use a lookup transform, where I lookup some records in another table based on one of the variables that I populated previously... I may be missing something obvious here, but how do I set this up?

  • One way to get user variables into the column list is to use a derived column transformation above your lookup in the data flow, such as :

    Derived Column Name: MyVar

    Derived Column: add as new column

    Expression: @[User::MyVar]

    Then in the lookup, on the 'Columns' tab, the MyVar column will be available as an Available Input Column.

    I hope that this is what you were looking for, I don't know of a way to make a user variable part of the reference table query itself.
