Converting Non Numeric to Null

  • I have a numeric column called "Value" in a flat file, which contains both numeric data and non-numeric values, such as "X". I'm using the Derived Column Task in SSIS to convert the non-numeric "X" values to NULL. However, I am encountering an error during this process. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

    [Value] == "X" || [Value] == "-" || LEN(TRIM([Value])) == 0 ? NULL(DT_DECIMAL, 18, 2) : (DT_DECIMAL, 18, 2) REPLACE([Value], ",", ".")
