Hey all,
I have several tables, including "Company", "Projects", and "GLSummary".
Company_Key is the unique identifier that ties these three tables together. Related lookup column is "Company_Key" in table Company (arrows point from other two tables to Company).
Starting with an easy example:
When I make a pivot table out of this, I put Company_Key from table Company in the rows, and simply add Company_Key from table Projects beneath it. Rather than listing company keys with the matching value from the Projects table, it lists the company key from Company table, and all iterations of the company key field from Projects beneath each one. For example, if the company keys were as follows:
1005
1413
1937
1964
Instead of listing this way:
1005
It lists this way:
1005
Now obviously, I'm not simply trying to match the two lists. I'm trying to filter data by project which is attached (and functioning properly) to Company_Key in table Company. However, this is the simplest example I can think of to explain that the columns don't appear to be recognizing each other. I'm sure I've set up the relationships incorrectly, but I can't find where I've made my mistake.
