I'm a bit perplexed on this.
I have what is a 1:1 relationship.
The parent table is SalesAssociatesCustomers (many entries per associate with each entry being a single customer that associate has worked with)
Child table is Customers.
SalesAssociatesCustomers.CustomerCode -> Customers.CustomerCode (CustomerCode is text)
I open up Excel and drop the SalesAssociatesCustomers.AssociateID and SalesAssociatesCustomers.CustomerCode on the grid and it shows a proper:
AssociateID|CustomerCode
1|A001
1|A002
1|A003
etc...
just like it should.
Then I go to the second table and get Customers.CustomerCode and drop it on there and I get:
AssociateID|CustomerCode|CustomerCode
1|A001|A001
1|A001|A002
1|A001|A003
...
1|A001|C004
Basically it is not restricting on CustomerCode and I don't really get why.... I am not even sure how to start troubleshooting this....

I am not sure what the actual question is. Is this an issue you are seeing in Excel or is this in your data or in a query? You really haven't provided much detail here for us to help.

Apologies: SSAS tabular mode I am creating a relationship between those two tables in the designer. Then when you open to analyze in Excel and add those columns I get that "cross join like" result.
