    Hi Naveen-004,

    Are you able to share all the Code in your Notebook, Spark is a lazily evaluated there could be issues in earlier commands that are only getting executed when you try to write the dataframe.

If your notebook fails to write data to a Delta table, the issue may stem from incorrect configuration, permissions, or connectivity problems. First, ensure that the Delta table exists and the notebook has access to the appropriate database and storage location. Check if you have the necessary write permissions. If you're using Delta Executor, ensure it’s properly configured with the correct version and dependencies. Also, verify that the data format aligns with Delta Lake specifications. If the issue persists, review the error logs for specific messages or conflicts and consult documentation or community forums for troubleshooting steps.
