Considerations when using the GENERATE function
If the evaluation of table2 for the current row in table1 returns an empty table, then the result table will not contain the current row from table1. This is different than GENERATEALL() where the current row from table1 will be included in the results and columns corresponding to table2 will have null values for that row.
