I am merging data from and existing ESRI File Geodatabase with data form excel spreadsheet using globalID.  I then want to write that data to new ESRI File Geodatabase,  preserving the GlobalID from the existing fGDB.  I can see this is possible in SDE.  is there a way I can do this in non-SDE fGDB.  I am using FME version 2019.1​

Unfortunately I don't think that is possible, but please consider voting for the idea here:

@ste18302​  Preserving GlobalIDs is not yet possible for File Geodb (as @david_r​ mentions above). However, I think it is possible to convert your GlobalIDs to a GUID and then write those, then convert those GUIDs to a GlobalID. I couldn't find anything newer than this but it might give you some ideas.
