'Excel Pivot Tables Include Relatively Missing Fields

I have two tables:

TABLE 1

Zone Proj.
Alpha 22
Gamma 23

TABLE 2

Zone Real
Kappa 37
Gamma 25

I am pivoting these tables side by side for contrasting the difference between projection and real values. Now, I want both of these pivots to contain the union of Zones found in both the sheets and fill corresponding Sales with something like N.A. or 0, if not found in the respective source.

PIVOT 1

Zone Proj.
Alpha 22
Gamma 23
Kappa N.A.

PIVOT 2

Zone Real
Alpha N. A
Gamma 25
Kappa 37

I am aware of LOOKUP etc. (or LEFT JOINS using ETL tools) but looking at a "cleaner" and "easier" option.

Use-case: I have two tables—one with annual sales data of about a few thousand sales agents and another with their predictions, as generated last year—but the prediction table lacks rows for 6-7 customers in the second table. So, when I pivot both on the same worksheet, the visual harmony gets disturbed once a missing row is encountered.
