Cannot get relationships to work

I have two tables:

1. Lists all Customer+SKU combinations and has sales by month -- no duplicates
2. Lists all Customer+SKU combinations and has other customer attributes (location, type, etc.) -- may have duplicate Customer+SKU values

So I created a relationship between these two tables based on Customer+SKU.

I create a pivot with the data model and drag in Customer Type from table # 2. I then bring in YTD sales from table #1. But I get a notification saying Relationships are needed and all of my Values are the totals (in other words, it's not showing the proper value per customer type).

What am I doing wrong here? I thought this sort of thing is specifically what relationships are for?
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
It feels like your relationship might be going the wrong direction? Maybe check that. The arrow points from the many to the one (lookup) table.
