Hi guys, thanks for any help you can offer.
I'm in charge of reception for a restaurant and was looking to create a tool that would aid order planning by calculating ingredient consumption based on sales data.
I was messing around with the following test case to see how it would work. Basically what I want to do is find out how much of each ingredient I use on a weekly basis.
Here are my ingredients listed by dish and quantity:

My dishes and their weekly sales:

I establish a relationship between the two tables, linking them by name of dish.
I create a Pivot Table based on this data model.

But it does this weird summing thing with the sales data, so that it's unusable:

Any idea what's going on? I would ideally like to multiply sales per dish by ingredient quantity, but I can't do that if the Pivot Table sums all the sales data and doesn't let me see sales per dish.
All help is much appreciated.
Cheers!
