The more fields need to be unique when inserting, the higher the chance of creating a new record. It looks for all the fields on a record and if even one is different, it doesn't update, but creates a new one.

Hi @Prashant Ahire 

 

Thank you for your information

 

I updated coalesce as true for two fields and i am using same data which is in service now existing record in the Excel only difference is changing data of some other filed which is not used as coalesce but when I try to import data

 

The state(sys_import_srate) of staging table going to test state and Able to run transform map but no updates are happening please advice ASAP

Hi @Ramu8 ,

Coalesce can have multiple fields set to "true" in the field list at the bottom of a transform map. All fields must match for an update to happen. If they don't all match then an insert happens. That's how it works.
