    Excel Power Pivot Drill Down Layers

    Hello Everyone,

    I have been scouring the forum for an answer to this question and have found some close topics but not quite what I am looking for.

    My questions goes like this:

    I have two tables (Literature and Reference)

    Literature has two columns (Serial Number(unique) and Title)
    Reference has three columns (Index(unique), SerialNumber and Reference)

    Some sample data looks like this:

    Serial Number Title
    HD456KH45, Rome Zoning Plans for 180.
    RTHS1964, Aquaducts: Who Needs'em?
    SADA5464, Lessons From Alexandria
    444642SSG, Roman Warhorses Added to Batallion
    FAAG44, Senate Optimistic About Roman Construction Timeline
    FDSKJH452, Labor Strikes in Rome Delays Aquaduct
    002, Rome Built in a Day
    003, Roman Construction Unlikely to Meet Deadline
    456, Carthage Sends Envoy to Maximus

    And:

    Index Serial Number Ref001
    1, HD456KH45, RTHS1964
    2, HD456KH45, SADA5464
    3, HD456KH45, FAAG44
    4, SADA5464, FDSKJH452
    5, RTHS1964, 002
    6, 444642SSG, 456
    7, FAAG44, 002
    8, FAAG44, 003
    9, FDSKJH452, 003

    Please note the one to many relationship between Literature.Serial Number and Reference.SerialNumber.

    After I create a one to many relationship my power pivot table returns all the Reference.SerialNumber values for each Literature.Serial Number record. My expectation was that I would only have the values returned that had a found record in the joined table. For example the power pivot yeilds:

    +/- HD456KH45
    FAAG44
    FDSKJH452
    IIR002
    IIR003
    IIR456
    RTHS1964
    SADA5464

    Where I want it to yeild:

    +/- HD456KH45
    RTHS1964
    SADA5464
    FAAG44

    I will say optimally it would yield multiple layers also but I am not sure if excel is capable of this idea:

    +/- HD456KH45
    - RTHS1964
    002
    + SADA5464
    + FAAG44


    Any information on whether or not excel is capable of this type of multilayer, value returned one to many relationship organization would be greatly appreciated.

    PS I also posted this in an access forum as I can create the same type of setup in access but can't figure out the multiple layer drill down.
