    Try this calculated table. The SELECTCOLUMNS function is necessary in order to rename the Product column, since CROSSJOIN doesn't allow two columns with the same name.

     

    Cross Join = 
GENERATE (
    SUMMARIZE ( Data, Data[Transaction Id], Data[Customer] ),
    VAR vTransId = Data[Transaction Id]
    VAR vProduct1 =
        CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( Data[Product] ), Data[Transaction Id] = vTransId )
    VAR vProduct2 =
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
            CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( Data[Product] ), Data[Transaction Id] = vTransId ),
            "Product2", Data[Product]
        )
    RETURN
        CROSSJOIN ( vProduct1, vProduct2 )
)

DataInsights , that works perfectly! I didn't think to use GENERATE. This had me stumped, so huge kudos for helping with this.
