Hi,

i have two table in Power Pivot, both the table don't have any duplicate value.
First Table MSME column "Reference Number" link with another table Category which has category column.
in Category Table also has unique item which categorized in three "Dealer", "PO Based" and "Warehouse"

when we generate pivot table it show me 3 values against each "Reference Number" but each Reference number has only one category defined in Category table.
i don't understand why they show all category against all Reference number,

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
You need to add a value field to your pivot table.

Solution
Your statement "both the tables[sic] don't have any duplicate value" cannot be correct. According to the picture of the Pivot Table, the MSME table may have unique values in the Reference Number field, the Account field in the Category table obviously has multiple values, specifically the Account 406531 appears three times in the Category table's Category field - Dealer, PO Based, and Warehouse.
Also it's confusing to name a table the same as a field and just makes things that much more difficult. Perhaps one of them could be called Categories so they could be distinguished?
