Data Model in Many to Many Relationship

Dear PBI community,

 

I would like to ask for help regarding my problem. I have two data sources:

1. Author-Revenue Proportion which defines how much revenue is split into different authors based on their books

2. the Revenue of each book by month.

 

Since 1 author can create many books and one book can be written by multple authors, this cause the data relationship to be many-to-many. 

 

My question to you all is, how do we create a measure to determine the revenue earned from each author? I have provided and excel file for reference, showing the 2 data sources as well as the expected table visual result that I am expecting. This is usually simple with one-to-many relationship but with many-to-many i cant seem to get the correct answer, especially for authors with multple books. 
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
