You don't allow same name in one table ...

Either you can rename your old filed or new field like this

1....

Load

Country_Desc as Country_Desc_Old,

if(Match(trim([Code]),'ACT'),'Adjustment', Country_Desc) as Country_Desc

...

From ....

or

2...

Load

Country_Desc ,

if(Match(trim(

),'ACT'),'Adjustment', Country_Desc) as Country_Desc_New

...

From ....

Then you have to rename the Original Field, like Country_Desc as Country_Desc_Org. Or comment the Field away from script using //Country_Desc

Perhaps this

Pick(Match(trim(

),'ACT')+1,'Adjustment', Country_Desc) as Country_Desc
