I have created a package that Runs a Sql Query and then puts the results into a flat tab delimited txt file.
When I opened the flat file in excel everything was in the right columns but in columns where i had a combination of alpha characters and numerical characters I was getting extra trailing blank spaces in certain records (as shown below). What I did was, added a derived Column step where i would do RTRIM(memberid) which successfully removed the trailing spaces but now the column was still aligned to the left while all the other records were aligned to the right. Has anyone ever come across this scenario and is there anything i can do so that the columns are all aligned to the RIGHT?
