I've had success relating tables however I've attempted to create a table to compliment an existing table and draw the data in but the relationship fails.

If anyone could explain why I'd appreciate it. I posted an example of the two tables below. I am trying to relate them between the "FruitName" fields.


Table 1:

Unique ID
VendorNumber
VendorName
DeliverDay
Manger
FruitName
Address
1
Peter
Peter's Produce
Mon
Kevin
Lemons
1 A Street
2
Paul
Paul's Produce
Tue
Kevin
Watermellon
30 A Street
3
Mary
Mary's Produce
Tue
Kevie
Bananas
654 A Street

Table 2:

Benchmark ID
FruitName
Days Delivery
Shelf-Life
Days to Exp
Exp Percentage
1
Apples
5
25
20
.2
2
Bananas
6
15
9
.2
3
Oranges
5
32
27
.2
4
Plums
6
15
9
.2
5
Watermellon
5
25
20
.2
6
Lemons
5
19
14
.2

<TBODY>

The pivot view I'm going for is:

Rows:
Manager (Table 1)
VendorNumber (Table 1)
FruitName (Table 1)

Values:
Sum of Days to Exp (Table 2)

All I get is a failed notice of the relationship I created between the "FruitName" fields in the Diagram View. The Values are the sum of the whole column not the sum of the value for each rows value.

Thanks in advance.

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
