    Difficult to say exactly but it seems like you need to create a composite key between RawMaterials and Recipes. So in PowerQuery, add a column to both like:

     

    [MaterialID][Plant]

     

    To create a unique key for each material by plant.

    If I understand your scenario, I would do the following:

    1. Add a column that merges Plant and Material in both your Raw Material and Recipes tables

    2. Make a relationship between your two new columns (1:Many)

    3. Use a measure like this - TotalCost = sumx(RawMaterials, RawMaterials[Preis]*Calculate(Sum(Recipes[Wert])))

     

    I also assume you have a Date table that is filtering your Recipes table too.

     

    If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.
