Just downloaded Alteryx trial, frustrated

In my SQL database, here is the process I do and am trying to replicate.

 

Masterfile creation

1.  I upload a master file of our transactional data

2. I upload a file that maps our product codes in the transactional data, to their actual names

3. I join them and create a crosswalked masterfile

 

Catalog cfreation

1. I run a sql query off our masterfile and get a master customer list of all customers

2. I run a sql query off our customer file and return a master product list of all products

 

Cateresian Join

1. I use a cartesian join on the customer list and the product list to give each customer a row for every single possible product.  

****** if a customer didnt buy a product, then he does not have a corresponding row in the transaction file.  I NEED each customer to have a row with every possible product he could buy. this

 

i can not do this in alteryx.  Atleast i can not figure out how. is this possible?

 

Wbat i tried...

 

1. joined the two upload tables to create master file

2. used select widget to create the two list

 

I can not figure out how to do a cartesian product off the two list in alteryx. i googled and tried to figure it out from the join documentation but it does not work for me.
