Scenario:

[Field1] determines if [Field2] is positive or negative.

If [Field1] has a value of 3 then [Amount] is positive, if [Field1] has a value of 4 then [Amount] is negative.

Currently I am importing a CSV and performing calculations within my reports as described above. I would like to change it that when I import the CSV I perform the calculations on the fields I import the new values.

Is this possible, or is doing this in the report the best method?

Thanks

you can do it during import itself. If in SSIS, you can use Derived column transformation task for this.
