Creating a variable will perform the calculation ONCE, and then use that same value over and over. You want to have a different calculation for each row of the numbers table. Try this instead:
sales =
ADDCOLUMNS (
numbers,
"product", REPT ( UNICHAR ( RANDBETWEEN ( 65, 90 ) ), 3 )
& FORMAT ( RANDBETWEEN ( 1, 5 ), "-#" )
)
