I'm getting errors trying to import from MS Access.

The offending values are represented in Access as "1.#INF" which seems to be an "infinite" value, presumably an overflow from a mathematical operation.

I've tried changing the target data type from float to nvarchar and some others but I still get an overflow error.

Any way I can handle this gracefully and transform these values into something unique without errors?

try using conditional transformation and transform these values to some other varchar value like 'unknown' or 'infinite'
