Hi Srihari,



It seems that importing sometimes create minor troubles. I will advise you to create a new transform map once again and use it.



thanks

Hi Srihari,



I would suggest you try this once and see if it works, I had once came across the same issue.



On your coalesce, set coalesce on empty field.
