Consolidate two Data Sets for Making a Report

[Nano]

Hey,

I have two sets of data

DataSet1:

Materials sold per country along with other information like forcast
and inventory.

DataSet 2:

Material's inventory and production in each factory.

Report:

I want to make a report which shows materials sold and the inventory
and production in each factory.

What I am doing:
VLOOKUP factory's data in Dataset 1 and making a Pivot Table

Problem:
When I VLOOKUP the data, if a material is being sold in more than one
country the values for factory comes more than once and when I do
PIVOT it becomes multiple.

Part-Solution:
For values of Factory data in PIVOT I displayed Max/Min, that works
fine for Material data but when managers need to find data according
to Model Type, Model Year or Import then it becomes problem.

Kindly suggest me a way out of this, thanks in advance.

Incase you need the sample data I can provide you.
