I have a table with fields defined (call it Table 😎, but no mapping.  I am inserting into this by using Table Insert (from Table A).  Think Table A -> inserted into -> Table B.  In the picture below Table A is Projects from D365 at the bottom of the picture.  Table B is everything else in the image.  

 

DataAreaId is a field defined on Table B and is populated successfully from the table insert.  I would like to have a field, Field C, that simply does a custom transformation which places the value of DataAreaID into Field C.  While the Table B is fully deployed and executed, I am finding that Field C is unpopulated.  In fact all fields in the image that take values not from the Table Insert directly are unpopulated meaning I also can't assign constants.    

So, all of the DimensionDisplayValue - xxxx fields in the picture are empty after executing.  I have also noticed to my surprise that the raw table is empty.  Not sure if this is by design or if something on Table B can be reconfigure to allow this approach to work.  

I don't want to extend table A with these fields because Table A servers many masters and as masters get revised I don't want to spend a lot of time determining the impact of master changes on other masters.  I could duplicate the referenced 10 to 30 columns per master to mitigate the above concern in Table A, but that would really bloat Table A and doesn't feel esthetically pleasing. 

Lastly, the icon beside each transform above has an image like below.  Is the image indicating something important, I can't make it out.  I couldn't find a page that documents all of the icons used in Discovery Hub. 

Ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, 

Greg

Hi Greg.

Notice the Data Destination Table on the Table Insert, try setting it to Raw. Dose this solve your problem?

Yes.  Thanks.  That was it.
