    Pivot showing all values of relation

    I have two data models:

    DATA MODEL 1
    ITEM ID
    A 1
    B 2


    and

    DATA MODEL 2
    NEWITEM ID
    C 1
    D 2


    I put both of these in PowerPivot. I created a relationship between the ID columns in the PowerPivot diagram view. I created a Pivot Table on a new sheet. Report layout is in tabular form. I select the Item and ID field from table1. Then I selected the NewItem Column from Table 2. I expected to see the new item value associated with the same ID to pop up. Instead I see this:
    ITEM ID NEWITEM
    A 1 C
    D
    B 1 C
    D
    Can someone explain to me what is happening? I'm just wanting the table to treat the relationship like a SQL join. I don't understand the logic behind what's going on here.

    you need a measure in the pivot table to provide filter context. until you have one you will see a cartesian product-like a regular pivot table with the 'show items with no data' option checked

    if at first you don't succeed try doing it the way your wife told you to

    I am having a similar issue, and when I add my values columns, only the uppermost Collapsed Row shows unique totals. Every row under the expansion continues to resemble his result example above, and all the sum values equal the grand totals.
