Images of data aren't going to help us help you. Post the data as DDL and DML statements. Also explain the problem, what are you expected results here? What have you tried to solve as well, so we can help explain why what you've tried isn't working. As you've poated in the Integration Services Forum, I assume you're looking for a solution using SSIS? Does this mean you need achieve this using transformations in a Data Flow Task, or are you looking to do with an Execute T-SQL task?

USE [IT]

GO

/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Journey_Event_Value$] Script Date: 2022/03/28 21:15:30 ******/

SET ANSI_NULLS ON

GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Journey_Event_Value$](

[Feed_2_Unique_ID] [nvarchar](255) NULL,

[Date] [datetime] NULL,

That sentence honestly makes no sense and doesn't explain anything. To repeat myself:

Explain the problem, what are you expected results here? What have you tried to solve as well, so we can help explain why what you've tried isn't working. As you've posted in the Integration Services Forum, I assume you're looking for a solution using SSIS? Does this mean you need achieve this using transformations in a Data Flow Task, or are you looking to do with an Execute T-SQL task?

You didn't answer any of these questions, you just gave the DDL (of the DDL and DML) part of your table; that isn't enough; as must as you wish we could, we can't read your mind. If you can't explain the problem, then you need to go and work out what it is you want first. If you don't understand the problem you will have no chance of explaining it to someone else.
