I have two tables that I would like to combine in a certain way, however I have so far been unable to find a way as to how I should tackle this (I would say relatively easy?) problem.

The situation can be simplified as follows:

dt1:
1
2
3

dt2:
A
B
C
D

My goal:

dt12:
1 A
1 B
1 C
1 D
2 A
2 B
2 C
2 D
3 A
3 B
3 C
3 D

I tried different things but I am starting to feel like I am overlooking something very basic.

What you are looking for is a full outer join. – MrFlick Oct 22 '19 at 15:55
If these are just vectors rather than data.frames, you could use `expand.grid` – MrFlick Oct 22 '19 at 15:56
The jargon is cross join. If you google cross join r data.tables, you should find a few resources to do this – chinsoon12 Oct 22 '19 at 21:52
