Why is the relation lost when I try to sum across tables?

An example

I have two tables:  

SeriesItem  itemqty
AAa1  a1100
AAa2  a2200
BBb1  b1300
BBb2  b2400
BBb3  b3500
CCc1  c1100
CCc2  c2200
CCc3  c3300
CCc4  c4400

 

I want to use relations to sum qty for each series, I want to have a result like this:

 

Seriesqty
AA300
BB1200
CC1000

 

instead i got 

 

Seriesqty
AA2500
BB2500
CC2500

 

Why is the relation not working ?

 

Thanks

Hello @spr410 

 it seems like you have a problem in the modeling part. 

can you please make sure that you have a relation in the model view between 

item from table 1 to item from table 2 . 

and that the relation is 1 to many .
