Divide 2 tables by inactive relationship

Hello powerbi users,

 

I have a revenue table, expense table and calendar table

revenue table (date column) has a relationship with calendar table (date column)
expense table (date column) has a relationship with calendar table (date column)

and i have an inactive relationship between expense table (column item) and revenue table (column item)


example

Revenue table:

Date               Amount     Item
11/20/20221000Item A
11/20/20222000Item A
11/20/2022500Item B
12/01/20221000Item C
12/02/20223000Item C


Expense Date:

Date               Amount    Item
11/20/2022500Item A
11/20/20221500Item B
11/20/2022400Item B
12/01/2022750Item C
12/02/20222000Item C


i want to divide amount of revenue over amount of expenses so 
Divide(sum(revenue[amount),sum(expense[amount]),0)

but i want it to divide over the item that are equal 
so if i choose on my slicer 11/20/2022

amount of item A for revenue = 3000
amount for item A for expense = 500

Item        Price Per Product 
item A3000/500 = 6

 

any help would be appreciated

Create a measure.

Measure =
VAR _1 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Item] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Expense[item] )
                && 'Table'[Date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Expense[Date] )
        )
    )
VAR _2 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Expense[Amount] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( Expense ),
            Expense[Date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Expense[Date] )
                && Expense[item] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Expense[item] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    _1 / _2
