Better way to do a calculation on multi-criteria

Hi everyone,
 
I'd like to know what is the best way to do the below:
 
I've one table which will be my "convert table":
Material	UoM	Convert in pcs
18600-20	PC	1
18600-20	CON	1
18600-20	RET	0
18600-20	TRP	48
18600-40	PC	1
18600-40	CON	1
18600-40	RET	0
18600-40	TRP	48
18610-20	PC	1
18610-20	CON	1
 
I also have my "order table" on where all my orders are stored:
Delivery	Material	Delivery quantity	SU
862545418	621001-40	0	TRP
862545418	621001-40	1	TRP
862545435	82260-01	0	RET
862545435	82260-01	12	RET
862545581	621001-40	0	TRP
862545581	621001-40	2	TRP
862545613	73280-02	9	PC
862545616	73280-02	2	PC
862545623	41475-02	2	PC
862545623	48375-00	2	PC
862545624	41475-02	2	PC
862545624	48375-00	2	PC
862545663	42013-01	4.800	PC
862545667	42013-01	44	RET
862545672	73265-02	200	PC
862545672	73270-02	200	PC
862545672	73275-02	200	PC
 
So I need to convert all the quantities from my "order table" in PC. Easy, ok, here's the resul I obtain:
 
Material	Delivery quantity	SU	PC - RET - TRP.# to convert	Delivery quantity (in pcs)	Total de Delivery quantity (in pcs) pour Material
40975-01	37415	PC	1	37415	37415
40975-01	12	RET	50	600	600
40975-01	6	TRP	200	1200	1200
Which is correct, but , I'd like to see it for the material (removed the lines by SU):
Material	Total de Delivery quantity (in pcs) pour Material
40975-01	7486600
 
It does sum(Delivery Quantity) * sum(PC - RET - TRP.# to convert)
 
What's the best way to have my result ? By a calculate measure, relationship management, merge queries? How will you do from both tables ?
 
Big thank you by advance.
 
Kind Regards,
Greg

Not quite. I had already done this for the example above and it didn't work.

Can you tell me more about it?
